What would a custom VO2 max progression look like?

I’m 87-90% from 2021 to today, pretty much. It gets higher the less in shape I am, cardio-wise. Lowest it got was 85% at the beginning of '23. I was winding down from my 2022 cycling peak in the summer, lifting a ton, eating a ton, with a bit of “oh crap, i should jump on the trainer before this big race in feb.”

This was the quality thread you missed out on. A dude arguing for complex training and high fat diets to be come an “ideal metabolic flexibility model cyclist.” Oh and Empirical Cycling was “kind of like a cartel operating the /r/velo subreddit as a kind of farm for their coaching business.”
