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.

3-2-1 Lactate Tolerance

A difficult workout of the lactate tolerance variety. From the program USRowing National Coach Hartmut Buschbacher used to train the US women for Atlanta 1996.

2 X 3,2,1 minutes with 1 minute of rest, hard as you can go.

A good warm up with accelerations is essential.
