Athletes and coaches typically use one of two RPE scales: the Borg Scale from 6-20 or a simpler 0-10 scale. In either scale, the harder your effort, the higher the RPE value. There’s not one single piece of data collected and you don’t need any special equipment. All you need is...

Understanding the RPE Scale If you're working with a coach or following a specific training plan (such as our trail-oriented5K & 10KandHalf & Full Marathon training plans), you'll probably have workouts that fall into these broad categories. The more you train, the more you'll hone your...
An RPE scale is provided to help you determine the intensity for some of the exercises used in theBUILD program. Thewarm-upincludes exercises at an intensity of 4-6. The primary movement, once your body is warm, is done at a higher intensity of 8 RPE. These are your heavy lifts. Towa...

Use the rate of perceived exertion (RPE) scale to execute easy runs. This one-to-10 scale assumes that zero is no exertion while 10 is all-out work. Easy runs should fall between a 4 and a 6. Your walk doesn’t go down to 1 or 2, Dell says. Instead, you are staying at that...
As a matter of fact, one of the tools used by exercise scientists to measure and prescribe exercise is something called the rating of perceived exertion (RPE) scale. The exerciser rates how hard he feels he is working, using a 15-point scale that goes from 6 (resting) to 20 (very, ve...
Runners, especially those new to cycling, may find it easier to follow programming on an indoor bike so they don’t have to contend with the elements, road conditions, traffic, and other cyclists. For all three of these workouts, you will use the rate of perceived exertion (RPE) scale,...
