Want to get faster at ultrarunning? You might actually need to start running REALLY fast in training (even if your race pace is slow).
VO2 max workouts can help raise your aerobic ceiling, improve your endurance, and make you a faster, stronger ultrarunner. But doing them incorrectly can lead to injury or burnout.
In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly how to use short, fast intervals to improve your ultrarunning performance.
In this episode, you'll learn:
Why only running easy miles can hold back your fitness gains.
The science behind VO2 max and why fast intervals make you a better ultrarunner.
How to safely introduce speed work into your training.
Specific VO2 max workouts, including interval lengths, intensity, and recovery times.
When to prioritize speed work versus higher mileage in your training.
How to modify intervals based on your experience, injury history, and race terrain.
