Race Pacing by Feel: RPE Guides for 5K, 10K, Half, and Marathon

Master race pacing by relying on Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) for different distances. For a 5K, start at RPE 7, progressing to 9-10 in the final kilometers. In a 10K, begin at RPE 6, also finishing strong at 9-10. Half marathons should commence at RPE 5, building to 9-10, while marathons start at RPE 4. Adjust RPE based on race conditions like weather and terrain for peak performance. For more nuanced strategies, find out how to navigate these challenges effectively.
