Best training program for VO2 Max

@Dknotty

Thanks all. I was really looking for like a 6 week block of VO2 Max sessions which will hopefully boost my VO2Max, then wanted to do base related work.

If for some reason you have to use tr ready plan speciality → enthusiast → maintenance → low volume. Change one anaerobic to any vo2 max workout and fill rest you week with easy z2 riding.

Edit:
If you want to custom (what I would prefer) this topic contains almost every information you would need:

Hard start VO2max intervals

You should reduce volume, but maintain “enough”. What “enough” is depends on how much you normally do, but I think cutting two hours out of a 16 hour plan during VO2max work is not going to be a problem at all. E.g. if you do a couple of weekly four hour rides, you can cut back to one of those and maintain just fine. All of your other work should be zone 2, and probably mid- to low-Z2 at that.

Basically vo2 max 2-3 per week, if you can day after day, rest easy. Do 2-3 weeks, A LOT of rest and you are golden. Type of interval does not matter as long it’s at least 2 min (or better 3) min long and you are gasping for air like a fish out of water or being waterboarded. Go as hard as you can, forget about anything else. Repeat. And eat A TON of food during.
