Have you heard of the Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) chart but not sure how it’s used or whether it is useful for your running workouts?
Here’s an adapted guide from www.marathonhandbook.com explaining what RPE is, why every runner should be familiar with it, and how to use it for creating workout routines.
No matter how good your GPS device is, it can’t tell you how you’re feeling – what your level of motivation, or willpower, or fatigue is, on any given day. RPE does.
It also stops you from being too prescriptive in the pace you’re running; some days will be better or worse than others, and constantly trying to hit the same time or speed is often counterproductive.
