Hi,
In thinking through training metrics, I was wondering how "stable and reliable" is RPE as a training metric for cycling if one already has a knowledge of HR zones or power?
I realize the shortfalls since it's not an objective, repeatable measurement like power, but rather curious if a successful program can be built using RPE as the core metric.
Any studies or experience? It's an interesting question I think given all we now know using quantifiable metrics.
