How does TrainingPeaks calculate my threshold?

As you upload sessions to TrainingPeaks that are over threshold, TrainingPeaks will be able to alert you when we detect that your threshold may have improved:

  • Heart Rate Threshold - All Sports: We suggest a threshold increase if your Peak 60-minute, or 95% of your Peak 20-minute, Heart Rate is greater than your currently set threshold.

  • Power Threshold - Bike or Mountain Bike: We suggest a threshold increase if 95% of your Peak 20-minute average Power is greater than your currently set threshold.

  • Pace Threshold - Run only: We suggest a threshold increase if your Peak 45-minute average Pace is faster than the currently set threshold.
