Pace Target workouts are customized additions to running, walking, hiking, and bootcamp classes on Peloton's Tread and Tread+ treadmills (though in some cases, you can use them without one of the company's proprietary devices). Basically, instead of being told by your virtual instructor to run at, say, a pace of 6.2, you're told to run at a "moderate" pace, which will differ from person to person. My moderate is, like, a 4.1, but if you're a hardcore runner, yours might be higher than that. For us to get the same benefit from a moderate run, we'd be moving at totally different paces—and that's what Pace Target workouts are for: "Speed ranges tailored to you."

My experience with Pace Targets
This feature rolled out about a year ago and, ever since, Peloton has been working to broaden and improve it. It used to only be for runs on the Tread or Tread+, but now you can use it for outdoor workouts, runs on a non-Peloton treadmill, bootcamps, and more.
Now, I had already dragged myself out into the hot summer air to get to the gym. Not wanting that effort to go to waste, I decided to try out the Pace Target workouts in the running section of the app, since I was already on the treadmill and all. How bad could it be?
A major issue I have with guided running workouts is that at some point, the instructor says a number that is simply not happening for me. With Pace Targets, though, I was able to set reasonable expectations upfront by indicating I could do one single 9:30-minute mile if I had to. (I can be fast, but I do not enjoy even one second of it.) As the class began, I was not told what to set my treadmill to at all. Rather, I was given a range of "moderate" settings that aligned with my indicated fitness level and encouraged to stay within it, though I was also told I could go lower (or higher) if I wanted to.
Unlike when I try to follow a guided run or head out to jog on my own, at no point was I going way too fast and in danger of burning out. I finished my first workout and my subsequent workouts feeling great: a little winded, but energized.
Why Pace Target workouts are useful
That's where I always screw up when I'm hauling up and down the FDR—I take off and hope for the best. But now, having discovered through Pace Targets that my "moderate" speed should be around 4.1 mph, I feel confident I could control myself, focus on the heart rate data on my wearable, and actually run for a longer amount of time, staying in the most manageable and effective cardio zone for my goals.
Pace Target workouts can be found all over the Peloton app and include walking and running intervals, tempo-based runs, recovery runs, and more. Instructors provide clear cues about which intensity you should be exercising at, not which number you should be targeting, and you can change your pace target at any time by tapping the speed displayed on your screen during a workout. As someone with no previous understanding of my personal pacing, heart rate zones, or ideal running intervals, I think this feature is extremely useful and—I can't believe I'm saying this—I can't wait to keep using it.
