I think the important thing with such an arbitrary metric is that you figure out what each level of rpe means to you, build your system and try and be as consistent as possible. Might be worth taking notes on rides regarding their intensity so you can refer back to them too.
yoshy-
Thanks. I think I’ve achieved that. But I’m still wondering if it’s best to set it relative to average or peak.
Does your response imply that it doesn’t matter?
I’d appreciate a link to a good guide, but all that I’ve found focus more on the definition of scale rather than average vs peak question. My point being, on a ride one experience many RPEs unless riding at a consistent RPE for duration, which is very unlikely.
snoops
Could someone advise on setting your rate of perceived exertion for a ride?
Do you set it as an average across the ride or set it in response to the peak exertion during a ride?
I think I am under-representing my RPE.
