Visiting VO2 Max Land

I completed my first VO2 max session today (22/01/19) since I can't remember! And, yes, it hurt. Basically, the session was 2 min at a target 120% of FTP with 3 min RI. 6 sets of this followed by 5 min sweetspot. It was pretty cold on the rollers and I only really started to feel lubricated towards the end of the 45 min session (GCN session). So I decided to start again and repeat the session. The power numbers were far better the second time through; plus the extended session actually made for a great strength endurance session. The 5 min sweetspot second time through was actually easier whilst producing increased power. So the lesson here is to ride really hard for 45 min before starting a sweetspot session! Game on 8-)
