Technique and Drills
8 minutes of 15 sec. Micro Intervals
4 x 4 minute Attack Intervals
5 minute VO2-Max Intervals
This is a classic workout for all endurance sports. I used it for rowing where 5 minutes is close to the race distance but it's a staple for cycling, XC ski and running when building aerobic capacity is the goal.
During the warm-up do some accelerations and several one minute periods at LT intensity.
