Rating of Perceived Exertion (0-10 scale) Cheat Sheet:

0 - sitting on the couch

1 – Snail walk

2-3 – Brisk Walking

4 – recovery jog (able to nose breath)

5-6 - conversational pace (able to talk normally or sing a song)

7-8 – Tempo/Lactate Threshold - Marathon to ½ Marathon Pacing (Answering a question or Speaking in short sentences – shorter more labored breathing)

9 – 5k/10k Race Pace - One-word statements – breathing super hard – We’ll use this as our Max VO2 - Hard/Short Intervals/Strides & Hill Repeats

10 – All Out (I can’t speak to you right now – sound like an angry mule while breathing) – We will not use this very often if at all!
