Consistency mode training plan: stabilize your CPS

Use short, structured sessions to reduce timing variance and build reliable speed that holds up across longer tests.

Consistency Training Rhythm

Consistency mode measures how steady your taps are. If your timing variance shrinks, your CPS becomes more reliable and less dependent on short bursts.

1. Start with a baseline week

Run five consistency tests using the same duration and log the average interval plus variation.

  • Pick one duration and keep it for at least seven days.
  • Track the average interval, not just your CPS.
  • Note fatigue or tension after each session.

2. Use the 3-2-1 session structure

Short, repeatable sets give you better control than long sessions.

Block Runs Goal
3 3 short runs Warm up rhythm
2 2 measured runs Lock timing
1 1 clean run Record result

3. Add rhythm mode on off days

Rhythm mode helps you feel a steady beat. That timing awareness transfers to consistency runs.

4. Track the right signals

Small improvements in variation matter more than raw CPS jumps.

  • Lower variation equals steadier output.
  • Compare the last five runs, not a single best.
  • Adjust rest time if variation spikes late.

5. Build a weekly split

Use a simple split that alternates consistency, burst, and rest days.

  • Day 1: Consistency (3-2-1 plan)
  • Day 2: Burst (short runs, longer rest)
  • Day 3: Rhythm (short timing focus)
  • Day 4: Rest or light speed test
  • Day 5: Consistency (repeat baseline)

6. Avoid common mistakes

Consistency improves when you keep inputs stable and avoid overtraining.

  • Do not chase peak CPS during consistency runs.
  • Keep finger placement identical each session.
  • Stop if your variation increases for three runs.

Weekly checklist

  • One duration for a week
  • 3-2-1 session plan
  • Track variation
  • Rhythm on off days
  • Rest before spikes
