Anaerobic bump (periodization) Protocol and Vo2 vs Anaerobic training

[bbarrera]

Oh, geez…it’s been ages since I was a VO2 addict but I will definitely have a search for the study. There’s also a thread with an exchange between myself and another TRer about the matter which provides some good insights, I’ll also try to locate that.

This one?

VO2max vs sprint training

TLDR: 3-4% faster 20km TT time (60-90 sec). Protocol: The work to rest ratio was matched for both groups at 1∶5 (i.e. a 10-s effort would require a 50-s recovery period) and the total session time was ∼120 minutes including a self-selected 15 minute warm up and cool down period. Cyclists in the short training group completed 25 sets of sprints lasting 5, 10 and 20 seconds (each set) completed in sequence for a total work period of 14.6 minutes and corresponding recovery period of 73 minutes.…

and a little here?

Seeking dead-hard-workout plan

In the official lab test the big gains showed up after a 2 week rest period. 2 Week Post-Protocol Gains 20km TT Performance Power: +6% Time: -4% General Performance PPO: +7% VO2peak: +3% LT Power: +4% Aerobic Economy: +4% Gross Efficiency: +5% There are similar, yet less intense, TR workouts: Williamson Black Kaweah Coldblow Mendel Yup, you’ll definitely need/want a couple weeks off!
