This all makes some kind of sense in my head, but I don't know if its applicable, or if I'm explaining it coherently.
Yep. I was going to elaborate and say basically what you did, but I posted that 15 minutes before an exam & I had to leave.

This is basically how I trained for cross country & track back in high school. I had a great coach. The thing is, you can always be doing something during your rest periods. Eventually you'll have to re-evaluate where you are and come up with a more specific plan for reaching your goals. Also, during our rest periods, we didn't walk or stand. We jogged. Period. Didn't matter if it was slower than a fast walk, we HAD to jog. I guess you could throw in pushups or other fun stuff like that too. Or something with KBs.
