the VO2 max intervals are not as hard as what I would like to see

There should be plenty of substitutes available. I created this family of VO2max workouts, and these are plenty hard for me.

Hard start VO2max intervals

I’ve had a few requests to share some hard start VO2max workouts I created. I created the following team that has four workouts to start with. Edit.

Are you back in Leadville this year?

No. I’m riding SBT GRVL which is the same weekend. I’d like to ride Leadville again in the future - maybe when my kids turn 18 if they’ll ride it with me .

I might ride the Silver Rush again - if we’re not on a camping trip in the Tetons that weekend.

Are you using the Periodized plan?

I don’t really follow a plan any more, as I like to have the flexibility to go ride my bike when I want to. I do “train” however, and will fit rides into my week with specific goals, generally aiming for a pyramidal distribution.

• VO2max
• Sweet Spot
• Endurance

I’ll do these types of ride indoors or outdoors, depending on weather and time constraints.
