Least bad result for your short-term performance = most bad result for your long-term health.
High intensity needs a justification.

Decades coaching top athletes taught me: 99% of success is mastering the fundamentals.
Stop chasing marginal gains; master the basics.
Things that are not real:
A "Strava PB"
A "treadmill PB"
PB's must exist on a certified course (or better yet, on a track) with fully automatic timing or else they lack defensibility.
