Make it fit your starting point
Reduce repetitions or distance by 25–50% and use lighter loads. Keep the same movement quality.
Choose loads you can control. End the work block if technique deteriorates; do not force repetitions through pain.
Finish and recover
Finish with 5 easy minutes. Record pace or load, effort and whether technique stayed consistent.
Keep easy days between demanding sessions; use complete rest when recovery is poor.
