Incorrect pace setting for me - how to adjust

Hi
I’m currently doing the 3 Run 13.1 training plan but its a bit too slow pace wise - is there any way of increasing it ?
thanks

I would like to know this too.
Or if I run faster than it suggests during the workout will it then adjust paces for future runs up?

My OT is also doing this plan and she was finding it a bit easy too. What she did was reduce her hm time on Zwift from 3hrs to 2.40 and the plan adjusted her paces to suit. She’s also found the plan altered her hm time after the 5k time trial. HTH

Thanks Kevin. I think I’ll try that. I’m reluctant to do an extra 5k time trial as I’m prone to injury if I overtrain so don’t want to add in an extra workout as I’ve already started the plan. So I’ll see if I can change the predicted times instead.

Hi Mairi, she didn’t do anything extra, there’s a 5k trial as part of the plan :relaxed::+1:

Hi Kevin, can you ask your OT where she went in the game to reduce her hm time. I looked all over in the menus and could not find anything that set the hm time. (Samsung phone app) I will click around on the windows app when I get home to see if I can find something in the profile menu. I tried everything I could think of in the training plan window, but I could only quit the plan or preview the workouts.

Hi Ken, I’ll ask her but it’s a long time since she used it so will likely have forgotten by now. Plus she’s still in hospital having just given birth to our 1st. Hopefully coming home tomorrow so I’ll try and jog her memory.
It’s a long time since I fiddled with the pace settings myself so I couldn’t even help you bud, without having access to the tablet.

Thanks a lot Kevin! And congratulations!
I did see that when I am in a workout (part of the training plan) there is a “bias +/-” selection.
This only allows a 10% increase in pace, but it’s better than plodding along at 5kph! All the best to the new mother!

One way to change your pacing times is to enter the game after selecting a route and then hitting the menu button. Beside your name in the menu you will see a little icon that looks like a piece of paper and a pen or something like that. Click that. That submenu will allow you to change your pace times. Be advised that once you click on a time to edit, the placing of the cursor is awkward in that it is not exact. Zwift needs to fix that.

Awesome Fez! That worked perfectly!
