How to ser training zones (Z1..to...Z5) based on running pace

Hi!
i'd like to set the Z zones based on pace (for running) instead of BPM.
I did a lactate treshold test and, has an outcome, i'd like to set pace instead of bpm.
Right now, the only way possible i find is to set the lactate treshold and garmin automatically sets the zones with BPM intervals.

is there a way to make this based on pace?
Note: i know you cans set-up per train pace but i want it fixed.

thanks

You can do zonal analysis in Training Center, though there are much better alternatives. You didn't explain if you are looking for analysis after a run or control during a run. If the latter then you can try workouts, which will give you a pace window to work but not a quick, Do Z4, Do Z2, Do Z3, as you will have to type in the zone ranges yourself.

Perhaps there is a CIQ field available if you want analysis during a run.

HI. thanks for the reply.
i don't want to analize it after running. i want to create the zones based on pace and not on BPM.
One of the advantages of doing a lactate test is that you also analize your pace and you can set it as a baseline.

please see the attached picture.
the Zones are set based on the % of lactate and generate BPM zones.
my desire is to set the Zones based on pace.

You can't set zones based on pace - zones are all heart rate based.
I had a quick look and there doesn't appear to be any Connect IQ Apps or Data fields that allow you to create pace zones.
It sounds like something that people would find useful so try asking in the Connect IQ App Idea forum (https://forums.garmin.com/forum/developers/connect-iq/connect-iq-app-ideas).

RodrigoEspiritoSanto don't quite understand why you would want to do this. You can create workouts which have pace based alerts and would allow you to train in paced segments. For me the obvious advantage of HR based zones over pace based it that they are independent of terrain, Temperature, wind gradient etc
