How to Log and Interpret Your Perceived Exertion (RPE)

Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) is a subjective measure of how physically demanding a workout felt. This guide shows you how to log your RPE for any completed activity, providing valuable context to your objective training data like heart rate and pace. You will need to have a completed workout in your history to perform this task.

1. Navigate to the Workouts tab and select any workout from your History list to open its detailed summary.
2. Scroll to the bottom of the workout details screen and tap the Perceived Exertion section.
3. On the Perceived Exertion screen, drag the slider to select a number from 0-10 that best represents how hard the workout felt. As you move the slider, the corresponding description (e.g., 'Moderate', 'Hard') will update to help guide your choice.
4. For more information, tap How to Self-Assess to expand a detailed explanation of the RPE scale.
5. Once you have selected your RPE score, tap the Save button to add it to your workout summary.
