The Best VO₂ Max Intervals According To Research
Two groups of trained cyclists did the same amount of hard interval work — but only one improved VO₂ max. In this video, Anthony breaks down the research behind that surprising result, the interval sessions that consistently produce the biggest gains, and why pacing matters more than most riders think. He also looks at an unusual VO₂ max block that produced a 4.6% improvement in just four weeks, and whether it’s actually worth trying yourself. Ready to elevate your training?
