VO2max testing and training - how hard should it be?

Hard is good!

My all-time best is 392 from 4-years ago, got within 18W a month ago. Would love to break thru the 400W barrier this year.

My all-time best is 348W from June 2020: What workout did you do today? (2020, part 1) - #4625 by bbarrera

This has been a really hard duration for me to pace without blowing up!

Lately I’ve been working on controlling power on 1-2 minute efforts, last night had some not-so-nice oscillations on 1-min jobbers. Getting those nice and flat is a work in progress. Sigh.

Thanks for sharing, its always nice to have a carrot or two like this even if mine won’t be follow-ups to an incremental test!
