brisk is an adjective used to describe the intensity of the ride (i.e. quick) whereas pace is a noun meaning the rate of movement

Brisk = quick, Pace = rate of movement

The two words are not on the same scale, so I don't understand why you want someone to explain the difference between them

Yes you could say ride at a brisk pace, or fast pace etc.

A brisk pace could mean anything really, and I would struggle to relate to a HR, hence why I think these terms are too vague to gauge effort by. I could a very brisk pace with very little effort with a tailwind, but it would be a very tough ride into a headwind.

Find out about HR zones and what sort of training you are required to do in each to get the adaptions you want.
