Your technique is almost spot on. The thing you can do different is take advantage of the fact that, until you cross the finish line, there is no time limit.

That means you can stop before the finish line, go backwards, then re-do the difficult part of the track again (not all the way from the beginning).

Then when you have a technique down that you think is more effective. force close the app so the time doesn't count against you, and have a go at if from the beginning, utilizing your new found skill at the tough sections at the last.

I must admit, that never occurred to me. I have to really force myself to put time in on the later sections of a track, and your approach might be a good way to make it less time consuming.

I find the new timer format quite helpful in this respect. I think many of us have the same problem of tending to quit runs at the first mistake, which leads to more practise of the first turns and little practise of the later sections.

If my run is basically OK with only a minor off track I force myself to run to the end (or to the next big mistake). I know that I can subtract the 4 seconds penalty from my time if it was only a minor off track.

If you still have momentum, are still in the groove, and not totally off your desired racing line, then run that lap to the end would be my advice. A lap with penalties won’t register anyway if it’s not your fastest, so you can just cloud restore after to get back service bars and “drive”.

@Sulawesi: Your times are fantastic anyway. If you improve your method you’ll be up there with the best of the best.
