Maximize Your Cycling VO2 Max with These Effective Tips!

Wellness, Wealth & Mindset Weekly (#072)

If you're eager to boost your VO2 max and pedal faster and stronger, you've come to the right place! In this week's newsletter let's dive into some effective tips that can help you maximize your cycling VO2 max and elevate your performance on the bike.

Tip 1: The Power of Lower Intensity Work & Sweet Spot Training

Believe it or not, lower-intensity work can be your ticket to significant improvements in your cycling VO2 max.

Sweet spot training, in particular, can work wonders for enhancing your aerobic capacity. This method involves riding at a moderately hard intensity, just below your threshold, for extended periods.

And when it comes to sweet spot training, structured training plans are the go-to solution. A structured progression through base, build, and speciality phases can help you optimize your training and achieve remarkable gains in your VO2 max.

Tip 2: Add Extra Endurance Training to Your Existing Plan

Already following a training plan? Fantastic! But why not take it up a notch by incorporating some extra endurance training?

It's simpler than you think. Extend your cooldown by an extra 15 minutes on each ride, or add an additional hour of low-intensity riding to your weekly routine. Instead of idly scrolling through your phone post-ride, use that time to keep your legs spinning and capitalize on every training opportunity. Those extra miles could be the key to unlocking your full potential on the bike.

Tip 3: Consistency is Key for Long-Term Improvements

When it comes to boosting your VO2 max, consistency is non-negotiable. While short-term gains may be enticing, it's the long-term commitment that yields substantial and lasting results.

Athletes who stick to a structured training plan over the course of several years are the ones who see the most significant improvements in their performance. So, stay dedicated, stay focused, and view your training plan as a long-term investment in your cycling prowess.
