Maybe. Maybe, like me, they knew they were pushing but had no clue how close.

I know the closer I get to any kind of limit, the more unpleasant things get, won an asymptotic curve, so the unpleasantness ramps up sharply.

Can't say I am satisfied ... but that's also my choice. I don 't often push to any sort of "limit" because I don't see that big a reward.

I'd rather take a day off because my legs or sore than take three days off because I went so deep into my capacity that I can barley hobble ... but for some, Not going that deep isn't worth it.

Different strokes (of course, the way I do it is correct. )
