It does not only depend on the technique breakdown, but also the window to achieve the speed.

Does your board become unstable when you accelerate? Are you experiencing cramps? How about the different parts of your body? How will they react?
You will need to consider all these things before including the speed in your agenda. If your purpose is just for recreation, then it may not be worth your time and effort. After all, you can reserve your energy and use it later for going home, or detouring everywhere else. The point is, you need to have fun.
