Race Pace Zone (Zone 4)
1. An extremely hard or all out intensity zone. 2. On a 1 to 10 RPE scale, an intensity corresponding to a 7 to 8
or “really hard” to “really really hard.” 3. On a 6 to 20 RPE sale, an intensity corresponding to a 16 to 18 or “very
hard” to “very very hard.” 4. An exercise intensity dependent primarily on the aerobic and anaerobic metabolism
of carbohydrate. 5. An all out exercise intensity that can be held between 10 minutes to 30 minutes.
Max Zone (Zone 5)
1. An all out or maximal intensity zone. 2. On a 1 to 10 RPE scale, an intensity corresponding to a 9 to 10 or “really
really hard” to “maximal.” 3. On a 6 to 20 RPE scale, an intensity corresponding to an 18 to 20, or “very very hard”
to “maximal.” 4. An exercise intensity that elicits the causes the body to reach its maximal capacity to consume
oxygen (i.e., an exercise intensity that elicits VO2 max). 5. An all out or maximal effort that can be held between
2 to 8 minutes or an average of 4 minutes.
Supra-Max Zone (Zone 6)
1. A very short, all out effort that exceeds the power output associated with VO2 max or a person’s max zone. 2.
An exercise intensity that is almost entirely dependent on the anaerobic metabolism of stored ATP, Phospha-
gens, and carbohydrates. 3. An all out effort lasting 1 second to 2 minutes.
