Training targets are set as a percentage of threshold for all types of workouts (long runs, intervals etc.)
The percentages vary depending on the purpose of the workout and the ability of the runner. But they all have one thing in common – they are based on your threshold, which means:
🔹 they are based on your current running fitness – what you can achieve right now (without over- or under-training).
🔹 your workout targets self-adjust if your threshold changes

Training stresses your body and, if done correctly, encourages it to adapt.
Running with Power uses Stress Scores to monitor your training load. Stress scores represent the physical and metabolic stress of each workout.
Stress scores are relative to your threshold, so that if your threshold power changes, stress scores stay aligned to your threshold and to your ability to cope with the training.

Your threshold is a key measure of your running fitness. On race day, your finish time will depend to a large extent on your running fitness.
To plan your race-day target power based on your race-day fitness, it’s essential to know your threshold power.
