IMPROVE YOUR CYCLING WITH THE WORK ON VO2 MAX training PLAN

The Work On VO2 Max training plan on the ROUVY app was tailor-made to help cyclists develop the ability to ride faster, recover quicker, and endure longer. Fill a water bottle, grab a sweat towel, and start this 4-week journey today!

Your starting point for indoor cycling training

With this plan you'll learn the basics to becoming a better cyclist. Practice short sprints, high intensity rides and pyramid workouts.

WEEK #1

First, let’s work on your ability to tolerate the by-products of anaerobic work, such as lactate. Next: Sets of VO2 Max intervals.

WEEK #2

This week, we'll slowly build the intensity of your workouts to extend the duration and effectiveness of your VO2 Max efforts.

WEEK #3

You should feel considerable fatigue this week, but you're on your way! Time to focus on shorter and longer interval variations.

WEEK #4

It’s the last week! Just two more workouts left, and then a well deserved rest. Let’s push your limits and then wrap it up.

AFTER THE TRAINING PLAN: WHAT’S NEXT?

After completing this training plan, it's crucial to give your body the rest it needs. Enjoy a week of easy riding – either outdoors or on the ROUVY indoor cycling app – in zones 1 and 2, maintaining a steady cadence of 90 RPM. Remember, rest is just as important as training. Ignoring rest and recovery can lead to overtraining, so prioritize it.
