I find that my HR and breathing rate increases shortly before hard intervals, which is take as a good sign that I’ll make it through the intervals.

I often watch MMA competitions or tv and film with violent thuggery and this mental excitement can help with power surges. Or sometimes particularly energetic DJ mixes can also add that extra stimulus.
The Michael Jordan documentary was also great inspirational viewing during turbo sessions at the beginning of lockdown.
