stop adding average pace to RPE workouts
I’d like to request that TrainingPeaks stop automatically adding average pace to RPE-based runs. I use RPE specifically for prescribing trail runs, where pace is highly dependent on the route and terrain. However, the system keeps adding an average pace, which is not relevant in these cases.
Manually deleting the pace is time-consuming, and it often reappears anyway. While I advise my athletes to ignore it, some still see it as a target, which defeats the purpose of using RPE. At this point, it feels like I may as well prescribe pace instead, which I want to avoid for the reasons above.
Is there a way to prevent average pace from being automatically assigned to RPE-based runs?

Got to say I agree here. In some cases (most) the auto calculate) check box does nothing. I think this is more a bug.

Agreed. Unless there is some thought to anchoring RPE to their easy pace, deleting it would be best.
