So Matt, when you have established LT1 and 2 pace and HR....which do you use in training - pace of HR. Pace is always pace, but HR can vary by many things.......

All of the above (including RPE). As an athlete, you need to learn to listen to your body and use the feedback your watch gives you to make adjustments. Too often, we want to stare at our watch and just do what it says. Lab testing is just a baseline, you then need to take that data into real world training sessions and figure out what adjustments need to be made. If you are running on a track, you can probably stick with pace alone. If you are running up a hill, using pace isn't very practical...but your HR may lag behind at the beginning of the hill. So you need to know what that effort level is supposed to feel like as you let the HR catch up. Most of what I do in training and racing (at least on the run) is off of feel first, then I use my watch to tell me if what I'm feeling is where I should be and make small adjustments.

Thanks for the details @@MattHansonTri . Thats the way I see it - HR and RPE first and pace "is what it is" for LT1 at least.....for LT2 I try to use pace more as those intervals tend to be more track / treadmill based. Cheers, and good luck this year!
