Default Heel-toe brake pedal effort

Hey just a quick question.

Did anyone here come across the problem im having.

On really hard breaking i.e late braking(time-attack) im having to push down so hard on the brake pedal that i simply cannot blip the throttle on down-shifts.

If i attempt to do so i will overshoot the bend. I can do it easily with less brake pedal effort.

So do i simply need to keep trying or get better brakes?

I think that's normal. I move through the gears keeping the clutch in if under very heavy braking but I don't heel toe or blip the throttle until I release the clutch.
