Match Your Practice Unit to Your Feedback Loop

Atom Search related

The right length of a practice rep is determined by the granularity of feedback you can absorb in the moment, not the distance of the eventual performance. A swimmer training for a 100m race still drills in 25m increments because that's the optimal window to notice and correct one specific technical point. Shorter and you lose the movement context; longer and the feedback loop dilutes into general fatigue rather than targeted learning.
