Using RPE For Endurance Training - Dr Shaun McLaren



Hello and welcome to The Progress Theory where we discuss how to implement scientific principles to optimise human performance. In this episode we have Dr Shaun McLaren, S&C coach and Sport Scientist for the Newcastle Falcons, and teaching fellow in Sport and Exercise physiology at Durham University.


We’ve covered the use of RPE in strength training in this series of the Progress Theory, but how can it be used for Endurance training? Do we use RPE as an intensity variable that athletes have to aim for during interval work, or do we use it reflectively post-session? In this episode, Shaun and I discuss how to use RPE, how using RPE can take some time to get used to, and if we could use RPE across both strength and endurance training in a hybrid programme
