The aim of this study was to establish to what extent ratings of perceived readiness to start a new run are dependent on recovery of blood lactate and heart rate during passive recovery between interval runs (4 x 2000 m) of increasing intensity by 15 male college-level middle-distance runners. The Perceived Readiness Rating scale was administered at each minute of recovery. Blood lactate concentration was measured immediately after runs at Min.

A typical 4x2000 m run test with stepwise increasing speed was used on the indoor track (150 m lap). A new PRR scale was administered at each minute of recovery.
