Performance days vs Training days

[seemunkee]

Do you look at some days as performance days even when you are not in any kind of competition? Usually Thursday night at the gym there is a large group of boulderers and we tend to put out an all out effort. Weekend outdoors and Tuesdays I try to look at it more as a training session and stay well under the point of exhaustion.
Even though the chances of me ever winning a bouldering comp are slim (to none) I still usually have the best sessions ever due to the vibe of the comps.
