In attempting to use TrainingPeaks workout builder for running, I've "run" into a question. Joe Friel always lists his running pace zones as percentages of threshold pace where 110% means slower than 100%
Zone 1 Slower than 129% of FTPa
Zone 2 114% to 129% of FTPa
Zone 3 106% to 113% of FTPa
Zone 4 99% to 105% of FTPa
Zone 5a 97% to 100% of FTPa
Zone 5b 90% to 96% of FTPa
Zone 5c Faster than 90% of FTPa
However in the TrainingPeaks workout builder, 110% means faster than 100%. If I want to write a workout in workout builder to indicate Zone 3, 106-113 is going to be incorrect - way too fast. I'm going blank trying to figure out how to convert the percentages.
