Episode 61: How to measure intensity

In today’s episode I discuss how to measure intensity using a 1-20 subjective RPE. I take the time to describe the different elements such as subjective intensity, heart rate, the talk test, and the breathing gears. I go through each and explain how to use them during training and a curling game.

In case you missed them, these episodes would be a great follow up listen:

• Episode 11: The Bare Minimums (where I discuss The Canada’s Movement Guidelines)
