Perceived exertion. At least in experienced athletes competing under conditions they've been exposed to before, it works just as well any theoretically-optimal pacing strategy (see, e.g., Alex Simmon's "pacing optimization index").That's a lot of assumptions.
Perceived exertion is probably the worst measure for the less experienced athletes especially in endurance events where the conditions, course or both is not familiar. I can think of numerous times when I'm running uphill at what I think is steady effort, yet my HR spikes to sub threshold levels. I'd argue that Biking Power meters helps LESS experienced athletes more then more experienced athletes and IF this device works consistently and as billed will be a game changer.
