How often do you practice?

[TimC]

This is especially for all of the cubers with a sub-20 average, how often do you practice?

I have been able to do about 40 solves over weekends and manage to get in about 10 solves or so on a weekday.

Also, my usual average is around 25-26 seconds. I can see my average dropping slowly, but I want to ask everyone how quickly they got to the 20 second average?

Thank You

I practice at least 2 hours everyday on all sizes 2,3,4,5. So I'd say anywhere between 50-100 solves per day 3x3x3 and about about 25-50 solves on the others combined. The weekends is about the same, maybe a little more (I average around 16-17 seconds)

at most 1 hour a day, 5 months to get to sub 20

At this time, I do maybe 10 solves a day total. When I get time, I'll sometimes do 50 or so overall. I used to practice 3x3 alone for about 2 hours a day. It took me like 5 months to go from 26 to 19, of 1-2 hour a day practice. Some people are much quicker. I currently avg 16 on 3x3, 1:15 4x4.

very hard to say. I don't sit down and cube. I cube in between stuff, and while doing other stuff. Sometimes i just cube at the very end of a day for 1 hour though... i average like 19 right now...
if i had to guess, it would be 10min-2 hrs of cubing every day, with normal distribution around 30min

I practice maybe an hour or two on the weekdays and three or four on the weekend. (My teacher gives very little homework, so I end up having a lot of free time) However, I'm not doing any sports right now, so I probably will have less time once spring comes around. (Soccer) I have been cubing for about 2 and 1/2 months, and have decreased my average from about 1:30 to 26.25.

It all depends! Usually on weekdays i can get about an 40 to 60 mins spread over 3 or 4 hours. Weekends i can usually get a bit more per day, depends.

Before I was Sub-20, I used to practise about 2-3 hours a day (including solving at school, having the purpose to show off xD)

After I had reached the Sub-20s (that was in the summer vacation), I sometimes even cubed for 6 hours a day!

Now I just practise for half an hour a day, and sometimes not even every day...

(My current best average of 12 is 13.85 seconds, a usual average when it's going ood is between 14 and 15 seconds)

Huhh....... I only do about 10 solves a day, which is probably about... 30 minutes, including scrambling and breathing?

Maybe if I practiced more, I wouldn't have a 1 minute solve time?

I pretty much stopped practicing altogether, except for Master Magic.

It's quite obvious when my 3x3x3 average moved from 20 to 23.
