Don't try this at home

Keep it [moderation] up!
 
This is the part of recovery when I feel it because the pain is virtually absent but I can't do what I feel I should be able to.
Not the most self forgiving, which has served me well, but can mean I mess up recovery on occasions.
 
Even if the intervals weren't quite what you hoped for, it doesn't sound as if they were the disaster you predicted.
 
In all honesty predicted there was a strong possibility of getting into first one then having to stop due to pain. Want to do my weights training this week but day before or on intervals would have been too stupid so now have 3 sessions to do in 3 days. Hopefully next week I will be able to squat on Monday. This week I will have to temper with realism, hate realism!
 
Still feels pathetic, but I couldn't have done more safely. Being excessively careful and playing each session by ear. Deadlifts will be horrible for a while but that's the cost of stupidity.
I did the bar alone and it felt like I could go more. I was going to try 30kg, but thought I would see how 40 felt on my shoulders and attempt it if OK. Obviously it was OK.
Today's run will be lousy too, I can feel I have gone to my limits so will be slow. A few steps in and this will be forgotten of course
 
I remember once upon a time reading a squat rehab article. I think it was by Bill Starr. If I recall correctly, his recommendation was to start rehab with 3x15x20kg....then do 3x15 the very next day with +2.5kg, rinse and repeat ad nauseum. It sounds both really really safe and really really crazy at the same time. I like it.
