Any recommendations for making VO2 Max training less horrific?

I’m doing 4x4 2-3 mins sprint and rest

At the end I’m feeling pure dread

do it less often (like once every 2 weeks) and just do threshold/tempo 2 days total a week on the other weeks. when VO2 training happens, maybe try mixing it up so it's more enjoyable. i used to do time trials up a 0.87 mile (500 foot elevation gain) mountain at close to max HR, alongside a beautiful waterfall lol

i was running 6 days a week, 80% of my mileage was easy. one interval day in the threshold range, a tempo day, a long run and several easy runs. VO2 max efforts were only every 2-3 weeks or even once a month. but sometimes my interval sessions went hard enough to improve VO2 a lot
