Wednesday Windtrainer Workout: 8x 3min VO2 Max Intervals

This session is great for developing a high VO2 Max which will enable you to have a higher top speed and greater athletic potential. This is great for all cyclists including mountain bikers and triathletes.

Each Wednesday I’ll post a Windtrainer Workout that you can do in about 60 minutes to enhance your cycling. See a previous post about training intensity (Levels) to know how hard to work. If you are working directly with Coach Ray he will in most cases prescribe either a Power Zone or Heart Rate Zone to work within if you are training with these tools.

8x 3min VO2 Max Intervals

  • 10min WU Level II;
  • 8x 3min Level V, 3min Level II RI;
  • 10min CD Level II
  • 10min Stretching

Start the workout with a Warm Up (WU) of ten minutes of easy riding at Level II.

The main set is made up of eight reps at Level V (as hard as you can go) for three minutes, with a three-minute Rest Interval (RI) between reps.

Conclude the workout with ten minutes of riding at Level II for your Cool Down (CD).

Finish with ten minutes of stretching to assist with your recovery.
