VO2Max, 30/15 or Classic 3-8m

Guess what I’m trying to say is that you should try all the different types of interval styles, see what works for you (e.g. >90% HRmax) and put those in your workout library.

Jem @SpareCycles has a wealth of short vs long interval data published on his website (a worthy afternoon of reading!).

Thanks, yeah I know Jem’s website is a gem - slowly reading through it…
I think I will experiment with some of the shorter VO2max intervals (<=3’), just for the sake of diversity. I’m more of a diesel so I feel like I can really work the engine with 5-8’ intervals whereas in shorter intervals I feel like my legs fall off before I accumulate lots of time at high HR / (speculative) VO2. On the other hand this just means that for me these shorter intervals might be great as specific training for road races (-> explosiveness).

Edit: As @G650 pointed out, many of the workouts I was “looking for” are in the threshold section instead of VO2max. So all good.
