VO2max: 5 x 5 min at 110-118% FTP

5 x 5 min at 110-118% FTP with 5 min rest. Hard intervals that drive maximum oxygen uptake.

Opplevd Anstrengelse
9/10Nær maks

At 110–118% of FTP, oxygen uptake is driven to its absolute maximum. The heart pumps at max, the lungs work at max, and the muscles use every bit of oxygen they can get. This session raises the ceiling — the maximum oxygen uptake that determines how much energy the body can produce aerobically. You feel the breathing at max and the legs burning. Over time you increase your peak power and everything below it feels easier.

Øktstruktur

Oppvarming
12 min progressive warmup with activation up to 100% FTP.
Hoveddel
5 × 5 min VO2max intervals at 115% FTP with 5 min active recovery at 50% FTP. Cadence 95–105 RPM. The first 30 seconds of each interval are the worst — feel your body adjust. Breathing is heavy, talking stops. Last 2 intervals: tolerate the discomfort, this is where adaptation happens.
Nedkjøling
5 min cooldown.

Våre tips for denne økten

  • 1.Go hard from the start of each interval. VO2max training requires you to be at max within 2–3 minutes.
  • 2.The rest periods are as important as the intervals. Use them to get your heart rate down as much as possible.
  • 3.If you cannot hold the watts on the last interval, the first ones were too hard. Adjust next time.

Ernæring

Large carbohydrate-rich meal 3 hours before. Sports drink during the session (40–60 g carbohydrates/hr). Caffeine 30 min before can help. After: protein-rich recovery meal within 30 min. This session depletes glycogen stores.

Slik kombinerer du økten

Maximum once per week. Requires 1–2 recovery or zone 2 days after. Do not combine this with a heavy threshold session in the same week unless you are very well trained.
