* '''E'''asy. The E pace is for easy running. It is typically used for recovery between intervals, the bulk of many long runs, and "non-quality workouts". In the third edition, this is a range of paces rather than a single specific pace.
* '''M'''arathon. This is a runners predicted or actual marathon pace, and is used as a component of a number of marathon training runs.
* '''T'''hreshold. Sometimes referred to as [[Tempo Runs]], this is intended to be around the lactate threshold[[Lactate Threshold]]. In the second edition, there is a table (7.1) that provides modifications to the T pace for longer tempo runs, but this has been dropped in the 3<sup>rd</sup> edition. (Science indicates [[Tempo Runs]] should be avoided in favor of other training paces.)
* '''H'''ard. The third edition introduced the idea of hard running that is based on subjective effort rather than a specified pace.
* '''I'''nterval. This is the primary pace used for intervals, and is intended to maximize [[VO2max|V̇O<sub>2</sub>max]] by running at the pace that corresponds with [[VO2max|V̇O<sub>2</sub>max]]. (This is known as 'velocity at [[VO2max|V̇O<sub>2</sub>max]]', or simply '[[vVO2max|vV̇O<sub>2</sub>max]]'.) You can read more about this at [[Aerobic Interval Training 101]].
