Are Your VO2 Workouts Training The Wrong System
With the Tour de France wrapped up, conversations about Tadej Pogačar's VO2 max are everywhere.
But what actually increases VO2 max?
In this episode, CTS Head Cycling Coach Adam Pulford breaks down the two interval strategies he uses with athletes to develop aerobic power. Learn the difference between long, sustained VO2 intervals and short on/off efforts, when to use each one, and how to sequence both leading into your biggest events. If you've hit a plateau or want to maximize your aerobic engine, this episode provides a practical framework you can immediately apply to your training.
