Your attitude is the point. "Challenging" as in you can't finish the set? Great. When you chop down the interval, you are accelerating the rate of fatigue. The set has to be shorter. A yardage queen like yourself should know the downside.
There are other ways to challenge yourself. Like, say, swimming fast. Try that one sometime.
Since when do descending interval sets have to be short? That kind of defeats the whole purpose. I think the value of descending interval sets is making them quite long so that you increase your speed incrementally, develop some pacing at each speed interval. Added bonus is great endurance.
I know what you are saying about speed work, we do that as well. Can't always do the same thing over and over, unless you are John Smith.
When you coming to Charlotte for a visit now that you are an east coaster?
