It may be best to not look at it as a sprint. You'll burn out or find yourself bored. Sorry you didn't like MCH, OP. After doing the MCH intro quests I was left with the feeling that that class was going to be a pain and I'm thinking I'll leave it for last.
My wife and I are sitting a tiny bit from 59 and, even with taking a few days off, will definitely hit 60 before the two week mark. That's not bad for what was supposed to be the same amount of time as 1-50. We opted to burn through the side story quests (and ran out of the available 58 and lower ones) and did just a single high level roulette each day. We'll use the challenge log along with the armory bonus once we get to alts.
I see your character is AST. Did you level 30-60 with that first? I seem to remember that you'll burn your rested buff faster if you level lower level classes/jobs.
