VO2max & Threshold Training

Understand cycling power zones, when to use each one, and how to sequence them in a realistic week.

A decisive framework for choosing threshold or sweet spot based on readiness, fatigue, and event timeline.

Lactate threshold, not VO2max, predicts sustainable performance. Learn the physiology, testing options, and actionable training protocols to shift your threshold and expand functional reserve.

Sweet spot training (88–94% FTP) delivers high aerobic gains with manageable fatigue—ideal for time-crunched cyclists. Learn interval design, periodization, nutrition, recovery, and how to integrate sweet spot into an adaptive training plan.

Learn how VO2max training cycling (3–8 minute intervals at ~106–120% FTP) raises your aerobic ceiling. Science-backed session templates, periodization tips, monitoring, and recovery guidance for intermediate to advanced cyclists.

Learn how to run reliable FTP test cycling protocols (20‑minute, ramp, 2x8/10, critical power), prepare and calibrate your power meter, and validate results so your training zones and workouts stay honest and productive.

Learn cycling training zones—power, heart rate, and RPE—to target specific adaptations, avoid the gray zone, and train smarter with adaptive, science-based planning.
