It is generally known that the fastest way to get fast at any single event is simply to do a ridiculous amount of speedsolves over a consistent, long period of time. But what about multiple events? I, for example, would like to be at about the same level with the ~nine events I practice (2x2-5x5, FMC, square-1, pyraminx, roux (not an event per se, but still) and skewb, which hasn't come in the mail yet). My current method has been to focus on one or two puzzles a day and do an average of 12/100 depending on the difficulty (usually I'll just do FMC during class lol) this has the benefit of being easy and allowing me great freedom to solve whatever puzzle I like. However, I feel like I'm running into the issue of basic speed and specific speed. Basic speed is just your cubing ability that applies to all puzzles (lookahead, turn speed, recognition) whereas specific speed is ability confined to a specific puzzle (center orientation on a 4x4, or the different cases for the last two pieces of the first layer in 2x2)
Essentially, I feel like I'm not improving as quickly as I could be because half the time I spend practicing I'm just remembering stuff I already knew a week ago but need to remember because I've been busy with other events.
It seems to me the most effective option would be to spend a longer period of time, such as a week, on an event before moving on to the next one. Another option would be to solve an event every day until I beat my PB ao12/100, ensuring that I keep at it until I have definitely improved, and then go one more day to build off the momentum a little.
These are ideas I had, but I'm interested how you tackle this issue, or if you just focus mostly on one or two events.
