It's not nearly as bad as you would think and it really sets you up well for training at the proper intensities. This way you get the best bang for your buck from your training hours. Therefore, you should do it in the early part of your training and don't be afraid of what the reults will be. They are what they are, feedback of your status to help you improve.
