I do 5 minutes at ~ 1.333 * FTP then rest 5 at ~.5 FTP, for 4 sets. It seems pretty hard and I often have to drop it back on the second and 3rd set.

You know, as much as I plug these no one listens becuase it sounds too daunting.

More than that. 4 * 1.33FTP + 0.5FTP ~1.15NP for 35 minutes. For most it is not a doable workout.
