OTOH, competition is all about that last few percent. So if you want to compete, you always push, but carefully so as not to overdo it. Starting out and young, the issue is probably more one of RSI rather than overdoing it. I don't see a TSS (training stress score) on your TP workouts. How are you measuring your efforts? HRM? PM? No instrumentation?
