TrainingPeaks – Running Pace
Normalized Graded Pace™ (NGP™) Running
Pacing yourself while running on hilly terrain can be dicult. The pace gets slower on the
uphill even while the eort remains the same. Normalized Graded Pace™ (NGP™) provides you
the equivalent speed on a
flat surface. During the run you can easily adjust your eort by
monitoring Normalized Graded Pace™ (NGP™) in real time on your watch.

Running pace Training Stress Score (TSS r)
Any workout that contains power, pace or heart rate data can be assigned a Training Stress
Score
(TSS
) value. Training Stress Score
(TSS
) tells you the overall training load and
physiological stress created by a training session, taking into account the duration and
intensity of a workout.
Being able to follow the training load in real time lets you adjust the
eort and duration of the
exercise on the go, helping you reach your goal.
Long term training load data can be analyzed in the TrainingPeaks app. The Training Stress
Score
(TSS
) based on running pace is marked as rTSS.
Intensity Factor
(IF
)
Intensity Factor
(IF
) gives you relative intensity in running by comparing Normalized
Graded Pace to an-aerobic threshold pace. Intensity Factor gives you a simple metric on how
hard you are working out.
The Intensity Factor
(IF
) for:
recovery workouts should be under 0.75
endurance runs 0.75-0.85
tempo workouts 0.85-0.95
anaerobic threshold intervals 0.95-1.05.

TrainingPeaks – Heart rate
Heart rate Training Stress Score (TSS hr)
Any workout that contains power, pace or heart rate data can be assigned a Training Stress
Score
(TSS
) value. Training Stress Score
(TSS
) tells you the overall training load and
physiological stress created by a training session, taking into account the duration and
intensity of a workout.
Being able to follow the training load in real time lets you adjust the
eort and duration of the
