You can get an approximate heart rate level for each rating by simply adding a zero to each
rating. For example a rating of 12 will result in an approximate heart rate of 120 beats per
minute. Your RPE will vary depending up the factors discussed earlier. That is the major
benefit of this type of training. If your body is strong and rested, you will feel strong and
your pace will feel easier. When your body is in this condition, you are able to train harder
and the RPE will support this. If you are feeling tired and sluggish, it is because your body
needs a break. In this condition, your pace will feel harder. Again, this will show up in your
RPE and you will train at the proper level for that day.
