Training Focus: RPE (Rate of Perceived Effort)
This week, we’re training by feel! Forget heart rate, power, or pace—we’re going to focus on listening to our bodies. Here’s the RPE scale we’ll use:
- 1-2: Very Easy – Recovery effort, feels like a light stroll.
- 3-4: Easy – Comfortable, can hold a conversation easily.
- 5-6: Moderate – Steady effort, breathing slightly harder but sustainable.
- 7-8: Hard – Challenging but controlled, conversation is difficult.
- 9: Very Hard – Near-max effort, can only sustain for a short time.
- 10: Maximum Effort – All-out, unsustainable for more than a few seconds.
Trust the process, tune into your body, and enjoy the simplicity of this approach!
