8-WEEK VO2 MAX TRAINING PLAN (12+ HOURS/WEEK)
Raise your aerobic ceiling and unlock race power — the full-volume build. This 8-week VO2 max plan targets the single biggest lever for going faster: your VO2 max, the engine behind every hard, decisive effort. This version is built for serious athletes training 12+ hours a week.
WHO IT'S FOR
Dedicated racers and high-volume endurance athletes with 12+ hours a week who want a maximal lift in top-end power and aerobic capacity. Fully indoor- and Zwift-compatible; every session is built around your FTP, so it works on any smart trainer.
WHAT YOU'LL GAIN
A maximised VO2 max and five-minute power, a deep and durable aerobic engine, and the repeatability to deliver decisive efforts late in the longest, hardest events.
HOW IT WORKS
12+ hours a week with structured rest. Frequent, progressive VO2 max intervals anchor the plan, built on substantial endurance volume and disciplined recovery so the high-intensity work translates into peak fitness. A recovery week and a final test track your progress.
WHAT YOU NEED
A smart trainer or power meter and a set FTP. Every workout is fully structured and downloads straight to your head unit or Zwift.
Each session includes coach's notes explaining what it does, how it should feel and how to pace it. Built by Evolve Coaching. Train smarter. Lift your ceiling.
