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.

Intervals

5 minutes of Rest [ERG watts = 50% of FTP]
20 minutes of Work Interval 2
5 minutes of Cooldown [ERG watts = 60% of FTP]

3 sets of 5 x 60 second intervals (60 seconds on; 60 sec recovery)

Warm up very thoroughly; these hurt a bit.
Once warmed up, find a flat to moderately uphill road with no stops for at least a 7-8 minute stretch at high speed.
Begin by pedaling 60 seconds at 120+% FTP. Immediately take 60 seconds easy pedaling (Zone 1 - this will feel really easy at this point, in comparison). After 60 seconds Zone 1 go back to 60 seconds at 120+% FTP. Repeat over and over until you have done 5 x 60-second hard efforts. This is the end of the first work set.
Spin lightly for 4-5 minutes. Then repeat as above for a second work set of 5 x 60-second intervals.
Spin lightly for 4-5 minutes. Then repeat as above for a third work set of 5 x 60-second intervals.
Spin lightly to recover for at least 10 minutes.
