This is good point, and reason why I like to train Z4 either 95-98% or 102-105% range – to be either side of steady state that can fluctuate day-to-day anyway.
Of course, 40k TTers might want train exactly at threshold to learn balancing there.

People will do anything but ride to RPE.
That’s because it almost always leads to a number which is lower, and if that number isn’t tied to self worth, what’s the point of riding at all?

I don’t find RPE to be a good guide for an all-out effort, when I pace all-out (by feel) I don’t go by RPE.
I wouldn’t call riding at threshold “all out” , maybe something like vo2 intervals, sprints, ramp tests and 8 minute tests.
I am Not perfect with RPE either but I do know the feeling of “if I go any harder I’ll blow up.

It is if that effort is about an hour long.
Only for the last 5-10 minutes though. The first 20-25 minutes doesn’t feel that bad but then it starts to go to hell pretty quickly.
But that’s the same for a 10 minute MMP, it’s the last 2-3 that are all out. 5 Minutes, it’s the last 60 seconds, and so on.
ain’t that the truth!!!
