The best way to prepare the body to handle this intensity is to spend time running at it. This workout is great to include early in your build-up to expose the body to a slightly higher intensity.

So much new!

Unfortunately, I have somehow created a streak of falling, where I fell off my bike while not looking ahead and for the correct path going off the curb, and this weekend in my long run rolling my ankle on a drain while grabbing my gel and going shoulder first into the ground, ripping the sides of my new shoes.
