I'm the first one to say, "you don't necessarily need to kill yourself every time you train". However, when it comes to conditioning, I LOVE to see how far I can take myself.
Back in the 80's I did countless Triathlons and I was never an endurance athlete. I still haven't lost the zeal for endorphins, beer, and the post race beach.
So when the Prowler reared it's head in this block of training, I pop a boner for the PUSH!
I was criticized once for "pushing it too hard". WHAT? How about this...how about it really isn't about our different training styles at all, its about YOU being a pussy and not liking THAT particular brand of AWESOME.
So go back to the literature you speak from and grow a pair. I LIKE it!
