Thanks John! Glad you enjoyed it. I’m not a big metrics person so I often use self-rating as a way to keep myself accountable to how I’m feeling on the day.
Melissa, this is a great topic for discussion. While wearables have absolutely made it easier to quantify the metrics of a workout, I still think there is value in a self-rated perceived exertion scale. If a workout is supposed to be an 8 of 10 and you meet your time/pace/weight goals and rate the workout as a 4 of 10, it's time to ramp up. I find a lot of people (myself included) can fall into a rut if only using metrics and not self-rating. Thanks for this!
