The Sunday Shakeout

Ep. 46 - VO2 Max Training | Time to Sharpen Up


Listen Later

This week's episode of The Sunday Shakeout features a talk on VO2 max training for runners. When I looked through my catalog of episodes for The Sunday Shakeout and figured out that I hadn't yet made an episode on VO2 max, I was surprised. VO2 max is topic in the running space that a lot of people have questions about. And so in this week's episode on VO2 max training, I hope to clear up any misconceptions and provide listeners with the knowledge necessary to successfully execute one of these VO2 max workouts. These workouts, while not serving you long term, will give you a boost in fitness that will improve your times on race day. I hope you enjoy this episode of The Sunday Shakeout!

In this episode, I discuss:

  • What VO2 max training is
  • What the hours preceding a VO2 max workout should look like
  • The logistics of a VO2 max workout
  • A talk on pace vs. intensity
  • Thank you so much to all of my listeners for the support.
