They used to have "extra mile" running classes on Peloton that were meant to test you speed, but I think they all may have been purged. I remember taking one with Andy Speer where you started at a comfortably hard pace and kept adding speed. I'm hoping they will bring some of these types of classes back with the new pace targets feature.
Have you heard about Peloton's pace targets? It's basically power zone training for runners but it's only available on the Peloton tread/tread+. I found a chart in a Peloton FB group and I've been using those zones for callouts in class based on what I think my easy/hard/very hard paces are. I find the "zones" to be super helpful because I'm a slow runner and knowing what really easy is vs what my pushes should be is helpful. I feel like I'm improving. We'll see!
I have seen it but aren’t the pace target classes not available on app? how are you doing them without the tread? Or are you using the ‘zones’ in regular tread classes? I’m sure you are improving doing this though, there’s so much science behind all the zones for running!!
@@EmmaAdamss they released one class a few months ago and have since removed it from the app. But generally I just use the speeds in the chart I found for regular run classes and that helps me go at a really comfortably easy pace and push to my hard paces when needed.
