vVO2max workouts, anyone using them

Triathlon Forum

I am incorporating the vVO2 stuff from Veronique Billat into my trainng, the idea being to minimise waste miles and focus on quality- especially on the longer weekend stuff. I was wondering what people’s thoughts are on this and if anyone has extensive experience utilising it effectively- or not?

Right now I have my vVO2max as 25.6mph on the bike (based on 6min TT) and work at set % of this in training, especially in longer rides… it appears to be getting me more focused in training and it is also correlating to my HR work.

Why does it help you to know that someone is using it? :wink:

I use VO2Max training of course, I don’t do the testing as Billat prescribes, rather use Daniels’ tables for the run and try to design the workouts well enough to elicit a VO2Max response.
