RPE

Rating of perceived exertion: your own report of how hard the session felt. Eightpace uses a simple 1–10 scale.

Repetitions, sets and rest

A repetition is one movement. A set groups repetitions together. Rest is the planned recovery between sets or efforts.

Threshold and easy running

Threshold is a physiological concept requiring appropriate measurement; a controlled effort cue is only an approximation. Easy running should allow comfortable conversation.

Compromised running and Roxzone

Compromised running means running after other demanding work. Roxzone describes the race transition area; check the current official event instructions.
