I've tried a couple of times, but not really. Just balls out the whole way and hope I don't have a heart attack.

My bro's a joiner and he's really got into this cycling m'larky; when he has a constant secure site he's taken to leaving the tools at work occasionally and cycle commuting.I don't commute my tools wouldn't fit on the back of my bike

In between here and there
I was going to ask something similar. All my PR's come on a very fast or fastest commutes, which naturally come about mainly due to a favourable wind and weather and how I am feeling. The problem I have is that I am always going at a set level of energy output which I would guestimate at around 75-85% of max. If I get in to a bit of SCR I can up that, but couldn't do it day in and day out. Also I am now saving myself a bit so I can still enjoy a ride at the weekend.
So I guess my question is do any of you take it easy inbetween segements, to then go balls out and then rest again until the next one? I find it really difficult to change my mindset as I am always targetting the overall time and average speed which is now a habit.

Yes, it's similar to interval training.
I used to do interval training on a treadmill and it has a positive effect, in particular top end aerobic and anaerobic thresholds. I'm now starting to see marginal gains in my cycling from attacking strava segments.

Just watched the weather forecast .
Winds of 60 mph from the east possible.
My first thought was that segment that my m8 has the KOM on is from the east

recce 1st, if wind is a potential factor for a good time, then I'll wait for favorable wind, if it's more down to traffic levels and lights, then i'll do it day after day after day after day until I hit the light sequence just right.
