Fluctuating Times

[JaredRB9000]

Basically, I average between 25-28, but sometimes get times all the way up to 38, and down to 22. Is there a way to stabilize my times? It makes tracking progress a little weird.

Just look at your average of 50s. They should remain relatively constant.

This is totally normal.

The fact that you're inconsistent means that you have room to grow.

If I were to just stop learning techniques for a while, would my times start to stabilize at the lower end? I'm not sure if i should just load up on advanced stuff now, or space it out to master them individually.

I agree-- the more 'random' your times are, the easier/faster you can improve to consistently hit the lower times (and even lower). If your times are all within 1 second of each other, it is actually a very bad sign... meaning you will need to make some major changes to have a breakthrough....
