With Coach Kelvin; UK Athletics qualified Running Coach and We Run Coach for Leeds
Hi Team We Run,
VO2 Max
What it is and why improving it will help your performance at all intensities.
I’ve added some notes below that you might find useful ⬇️
———
8 to 16 minutes worth of work with equal recoveries
30 s to 4 min reps
16 x 30 seconds - 4 x 4 mins
2 to 3 sessions per week (3 is a lot)
Not uncommon for x 1 VO2 Max (12 x 1 m) and x 1, 5 to 10k session (6 x 800m 5k or 10 x 1k 10k) in a week of training.
The closer we’re working to VO2 Max the easier it is to improve
3 to 5k training also works well to improve VO2 Max - 3k for less experienced runners as 5k is closer to threshold for those with times greater than 25 mins. 👟

Happy Running,
Coach Kelvin
