CJ,
What is the plan for Games programming? Will that be an option through this site?
Jacob, congratulations on moving on to Games! That’s a solid accomplishment. Enjoy a little rest (more mental the physical) for a couple of days, and then it’s going to be time to get back to work. I will send you a private message to discuss some options and figure out how we can help you out.
Been feeling really beat up both mentally and physically and have seen a huge drop in performance because of a combination of lack of sleep and change in shcedule. You guys think it’s beneficial to take 3 whole rest days before competition or would this be a bad idea?
Yes, it’s a bad idea. I would prefer that you did some of the work at lower intensity, and cutting some of the volume if you believe that’s necessary.
CJ – could you reveal a bit of the plan for the next few days? What’s the workload going to be like and how many days of rest if any before the weekend? Just wondering 🙂
Tapering…pretty light workload.
