Question for lifters who do their own landscaping and yardwork.

In Texas this we are getting into that season where it's a butt ton of weed pulling, clean up, mulching and other yard work that can be taxing. .. esp in the heat

When you have a button of mulching and what not coming up that weekend, do you go easier or lower the volume on your lifts so you don't over do it? I'm 45(running 25ish a week right now) and also a runner that lifts pretty heavy every other day. Not to sound like a wee-wee head.. but I've noticed as I get older and I have a lot of yard work, my lifts on the following week are kinda booboo. .. so do y'all lower the lift load when you are doing more manual labor outside?
