I think that those sorts of things are aimed toward "normal" people. And that they must be adjusted as necessary. I can't do "25 on 5 off"; I can't always do "30 on 30 off", although that's way, way more likely. But "normal people" levels are unsustainable for me.

So I adjust. The way I look at it: "If it ain't sustainable, you ain't gonna sustain it." Best bet is to find out what you CAN do, and do THAT.

Of course you should every once in a while try to see if you've gotten better at it -- I think this IS like exercise where you DO get stronger. But also like exercise, everyone's top possible performance is different.

I think the thing is to do your best. Not the OTHER guy's best -- YOUR best. Your best is going to be more than the other guy's in some things, less in others. That's not worth worrying about; all you can do is YOUR best.

Yeah. That sounds about right.
