Progression – he’s gradually increasing intensity and distance over time
Repetition – he’s repeating the same workout every day
Overload – he’s doing more than his body can handle
During PE class, Layla is running laps and checks her RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion). She rates her effort as a 2, meaning the activity feels light and she can easily talk while running.

Keep her pace the same since she feels comfortable
Slow down to make sure she doesn’t get too tired
Increase her speed until her effort feels like a 4 or 5 on the RPE scale
Stop running and switch to walking
