Back when I was running hard, years ago, I often trained with a guy like that. He was darned good, at the collegiate level. I could never touch him in a race, but could with much of the training. Hard, for me. And, yes, as you describe, he was pretty good at staying just a step ahead. "LOL" wasn't what I was thinking at the time, but you play the hand you're dealt.
Sounds like it's working well for you. Just watch your recovery, to ensure you get enough, given these tougher sets. Older pharts gotta stick together.
