If you're not trying to race or max out your fitness, what's the point of doing intervals? It's not particularly fun.
I sure wouldn't do intervals if I didn't need to. As mentioned, different goals.
People not racing do not need to do things that people racing may think they need to do.
You're better at things you do. You're not as good at things you don't.
