OS-style bike hack in IM plan: replace 5x30/30 with 2.5'?

So I'm coming up to some weeks where the IM plan calls for some 30/30's, eg. 3 x (5 x 30/30) with 3' easy btw sets. In the OS these workouts were replaced with 2.5' Z5 intervals (120% FTP). I responded well to this in the OS and am thinking about doing the same now in the IM plan. Anybody tried it? Thoughts? More difficult to recover from?

I did the longer intervals, just because I hate stoping after 30". It works the same. Go for it.

@Adam, it's all about how you recover....I personally only had the mojo for 30/30s given the volume and my FTP target...up to you!
