This is the set of intervals I was commenting on:

In order to do this set you have to do 116% of FTP for 20min unless there is some additional rest I don't see. I assume the whole idea of a 'breakaway' interval is to simulate what you'd end up doing in a breakaway. In this case perhaps a 4 man break with everyone taking 1min pulls and recovering for 3min.
