I like this program a ton! but have a question..
So, i got it like 3 weeks ago with my new ironman run trainer watch.. So i'll go out and run, then upload the data, for instance my "average pace" for the day will be like 8:20.. but then ill check my e-mail later and it will say "CONGRATS you set a new tempo run of 7:50" or something to the matter, it won't be the same as my "average" it is always faster, any idea why it does this almost daily?
The online help guide has a lot of information on setting and using the threshold values:

Are you looking at two different averages?
If you are using auto-stop this could be happening.
Average moving pace: Pace excluding any stops or anything slower than any particular threshold (Say 20:00min pace)
Average pace: Pace including any stops
I got a private coach to help me with form and strength, and her group uses training peaks. Hello, I'm a middle distance runner! Training Peaks is for slow hobby joggers who can't run a 6 min mile! They look at my 4:47 and say, "Wow, you must have terrible endurance" because they need to feel good about their inferior speed. News Flash triathletes, running faster is more impressive.
Enough with the rant, but Training Peaks seems to be for cyclists and triathletes. Just to see, I did some sample calculations with some workouts I know to be very challenging, but Training peaks said, "Your TSS was under 150, so you shouldn't feel fatigued tomorrow". If I ran 10 400s at mile pace with 60s rest, it would tell me the workout was useless since it was only 20min. Meanwhile, I could almost walk for 2.5 hours and it would tell me I worked harder. I guess triathletes just slow jog and cycle all the time.
