I have always trained with power and have never trained using RPE alone, so I don't have a good grasp on intensity levels. I'm looking at the "Going Back to Back" training blocks from Bicycling Magazine: http://www.bicycling.com/training-nutrition/training-fitness/go-back-back
In this article, the author refers to intensity 8 to 10[SIZE= 14px], [/SIZE][FONT= 'trebuchet ms']three minutes at an intensity of 9, five minutes at an intensity of 8, etc...[/FONT]
