This seems very familiar, and I've either done this exact thing or something like it. In either case, I recall having to scale it. Today was no different. While my legs were a bit sore, they still felt like they were in good enough condition to scale this a bit, and I was fully prepared to put myself in a body bag to finish the last two sets. However, I quickly found that even scaled back I bit I couldn't complete this as written. I do not think what I have done up to this point has prepared me for the increase in intensity and the volume of that intensity. What I ended up doing is the following:
500m @ 1:45/500m pace
- 1:30 R -
x4
Rest as needed
500m @ 1:42/500m
- Rest as needed -
x4
