Weekly VO2 Max Intervals

Do one short, very hard interval session per week after a warm-up, using a safe modality like running, cycling, rowing, or an Assault/Airdyne bike. Typical protocols are 20–30 second all-out efforts with generous recovery, or 1–4 minute hard repeats, for about 8–15 minutes of work total. This targets VO2 max and top-end cardiovascular capacity while also improving anaerobic power, mitochondrial function, and time-efficient conditioning.

“I work out probably about five to six hours a week. And those workouts, I largely am doing a combination of high-intensity interval training... So you're really kind of getting your heart rate up to, you know, 80% max heart rate at points, not always, but especially during the intervals.”
