You should exercise at an intensity that is just below the level at which you can no longer speak comfortably ( When comfortable speech is just barely possible you are at the correct exercise intensity) (1,2).1.

Example: For a male, a 68% of VO2 max Training level corresponds to a RPE of 5 (see also next slide) AC.
