You don't do VO2 max workouts for 12 weeks at a time because after 6-8 weeks you're not going to respond to them.Actually if you want you can go to pub med. I think you'll find studies where people are still responding to vo2 work at 8-11 weeks.
That's super. Then let me rephrase because my entire post depends on this very pivotal time frame. :
Many people are not going to respond to VO2 max workouts to the same degree after 6-8 weeks and after 8-11 weeks (thanks DD) may not respond at all.
When that point occurs, whether it be 6 weeks and 2 days or 11 weeks, 5 days and 13 hours, then a return to aerobic development must take place for further improvement to occur.
Continuing to push through will lead to overtraining.
