Summary

Q&A #25 - RPE or power/pace in workout prescriptions, best cross-training for running, and Big Days and 70.3 races in preparation for an Ironman Is it better to use subjective Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) or objective outputs like power or pace when prescribing workouts? What is the best cross-training method for running when carrying an injury? Where in your Ironman training program should you include Big Days, and how should you prepare and recover from them? How should you taper and recover from 70.3 races in the lead-up to an Ironman, and should you race them at planned Ironman intensity?
