Pacing

Understanding your capacity is an ongoing effort. Often, we encounter workouts that combine elements in such a way that we’re not totally sure how things are going to play out.

There are two extremes when approaching a workout you’re not sure about. You can carefully pace yourself or you can launch yourself at it full speed. Neither approach is wrong or right. Either approach will probably give you decent feedback.

If you paced yourself and the workout was incredibly difficult for you, now you know that was probably the best way to get the best score. If you paced yourself and it was easy, then you probably could have sprinted more and gotten a better score. If you sprinted and you didn’t have to rest much, then that was probably the best approach. If you sprinted and found yourself taking frequent, long breaks to prevent yourself from throwing up, you probably would have done better with some pacing.
