Woke up with sore legs this morning which shouldn't be the case after a rest week and a zone 2 ride, checked strava ... almost a 1 minute
pr on the climb for me ... oops so much for that zone 2 ride.
Yeah, not real resty there.
This teammate and I have been riding together at lunch for 8 years now. We know what it takes to beat each other, which results in a lot of near-ties.

It depends.
30" with a full recovery, then it's AWC. But with a limited recovery, I look at the average power of the set. It should end up with the work intervals in the low end of AWC, but for a duration where they should be the very high end of AWC. My first one might be 1000W, but I'm going to fall to 450 pretty fast.
