physically AWC intervals (i.e. 30" on/30" off and 1' on/1' or 2' off) hurt me the most, but my mind does tend to wander during longer (20') stuff.

I was gonna say that one. But it's not doing the interval that is torture, but the idea of having to do the interval.
I think for me that is true of all intervals. I hate the idea of doing them, but once I start, I can commit totally. When I'm done im usually wondering to myself what the fuss was all about. And then the loathing starts all over again.

Now that I've finished my Base period I'm transitioning to my Specialization period. Aside from AR, the Totally Interval Training System (TITS™) consists of nothing but interval work. TITS™ is really nothing new, been around forever; this is just a more formalized approach.
True, TITS™ may be hard to handle in really huge volume, but I expect great things to come from the experience.
