Hello all,
I've become very enthusiastic to achieve both Simple and Sinister standards. My question/confusion is how to know when I've hit the ideal intensity. What I've read says to not work out to the point of being sore for a long time. This is rather tough for me as I don't know how to ensure I'm not easing up too much. I've fallen into that trap of equating a lot of soreness to a good workout. I completely trust the logic of Pavel in the book. I think subconsciously I will either revert to going to hard too soon, or not pushing myself enough. Any tips on how to manage my level of work intensity would be greatly appreciated.
