VO2 Max workouts are executed most efficiently when done twice a week according to recommendations. The timing of the sessions should be such that the exerciser is able to work at the required intensity levels. It is essential to combine these challenging sessions with lower intensity loads and easy recovery rides in order not to incur overtraining syndrome.

number 5 sounds perfect for last lap at Melbourne sandown!.... 30 sec for the back straight rise, then the 10 sec sprint for the win!

Most cycling youtubers seem to prescribe around 16-20 minutes of total time in zone per VO2 session, but all the really fast cyclists I know are doing at LEAST 20-25 minutes per session with multiple sessions per week. Why are y'all keeping the secret to elite fitness to yourselves?

Is this all in a row? Or broken up over days?
