Plan Description

🚴‍♂️ Program Overview
This 4‑week VO₂ max plan is designed for athletes with a solid aerobic base who want to take their power to the next level. It’s ideal preparation for events with high power demands such as criteriums, hill climbs, and track cycling endurance races.
📈 Training Focus
- Starts with short VO₂ max intervals to boost peak power
- Progresses to longer VO₂ max efforts to build sustained endurance
- Maximum of two VO₂ max sessions per week for quality and recovery balance
🗓️ Weekly Rhythm
- Long aerobic endurance rides scheduled on weekends
- Shorter aerobic sessions during the week to maintain consistency and freshness

✨ Why this plan works: It blends intensity with structure, ensuring athletes build both explosive power and lasting endurance without overloading.
