Create pace based workouts as a percentage of custom zones rather than just threshold pace
I'm currently using John J Davis' excellent book Marathon Excellence for Everyone for my training plans. However, he uses percent of 5K pace and percent of marathon pace extensively in all of his plans.
I can easily enough create those custom pace zones (for example, my 5k pace is 4:24/km, and my marathon pace is 4:56/km). However, if I want to create a workout at 85% of 5k pace, I have to manually tweak the percent of threshold pace until I get to the right value, rather than just choosing my 5k pace as the baseline, and then selecting 85%.
