Nobody else can determine what works for you. You need to just move forward and let your experience be your guide. I have developed a pretty good idea of what the cost may be for pushing it with various activities.

What I am better at is recognizing the very early signs of hitting my limit. When I notice them, I back off a bit, depending on the situation and my willingness to pay a delayed price.

None of the symptoms are life threatening so letting them manifest is not as big a deal as many think.
