Pace Vs RPE

Should you run by the pace on your watch or by how the effort actually feels?

NYRR Coaches Ben and Steve break down the difference between pace and Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE), and explain when each approach can be useful in your training. Learn how race distance, workout goals, hills, heat, humidity, and other conditions can affect your effort and why sometimes it makes sense to adjust your pace.
