Don Cowie has urged Ross County not to ease off after his side matched last season's points tally with nine games to spare.
The Staggies finished second bottom last term with 35 points and had to secure top-flight survival through a play-off win over Raith Rovers.
Cowie's side are currently eighth - just a point behind Saturday's hosts Hearts - after an upturn in form since Boxing Day.
"I think it shows the improvement in what we've done," said manager Cowie.
"We've matched our total from the whole of last season, so it shows the improvement.
"But the hard work continues. We've got nine games left to really add to that and that's the challenge we face. We're happy where we are.
"In the last 12 games or so since Boxing Day when we won away at Dundee, the run of results in the league's been really consistent and strong and we've picked up a lot of points.
"And the challenge is to keep that going for another four games until we get to the league split."
Former Hearts player Cowie is braced for a tough test against the resurgent Jambos.
"We've had two really close games against them this season," he said. "We've both been on the receiving end of a deep stoppage-time equaliser.
"They've changed a lot of personnel since we last played them, in January they invested heavily and you can see there's been a real upturn in their form.
"They're a real threat in the forward areas with the signings they've made. We're going to have to defend really well, but we're in a good place, we're feeling confident."
