Yeah this mirrors my thoughts as well. Individual training for endurance, speed, accuracy, power all have analogues in for intellectual work. So if you're optimizing for your own individual performance then this analogy makes a lot of sense. But in a team setting, the goal is some external output that depends primarily on efficient collaboration. Individual capabilities still matter, but it's how they are applied in concert that delivers results. From this perspective, pacing the team isn't necessarily about preventing burnout, but more that it hits diminishing returns pretty quickly, and becomes counter-productive when the team gets stretched too thin to react to new inputs that inevitably come.
