I just downloaded the Concept2 12 week 2k training plan.
The first step was performing my initial 2K TT. Results 8:01 w/ an average 2:00.4/500m.
My question is how do I use that info to set pace goals on the upcoming work outs?
Workout 1. 4x4min w/2min rest
Workout 2. 6x2min w/1min rest
Workout 3. 5000m
Calculating training pace
Re: Calculating training pace
Very roughly use your same test pace for the first two and do the third at low rate, up to 23.
More accurately, these plans also use a 2k test pace and there's plenty of reading to be done to see how it works:

Re: Calculating training pace
I'd also use 2k pace for workout one & two, but don't be afraid to slow it down a bit to 2k + 1 if you feel like you need to, and 2k+ 9/10 for workout three. I'm assuming that these are early stage sessions? You will benefit from keeping them slower to start with and gradually improving.TFay3 wrote: ↑February 7th, 2024, 4:25 pmI just downloaded the Concept2 12 week 2k training plan.
