RPE is a subjective but powerful tool for gauging training intensity and load.Using a scale of 1-10 (or 6-20), RPE helps:
- Athletes tune into their bodies and develop self-awareness.
- Coaches understand how the athlete is feeling, especially for remote coaching.
- Adjust workouts on the fly based on fatigue, stress, and external factors.
- Complement objective data (HR, power) for a holistic view.
"Listen to your body; it's always telling you something."
