Summary

Q&A #24 - Improving and testing aerobic capacity, dealing with 45-minute workout limits, back-to-back long rides, and training the respiratory system What are the best ways to train to improve aerobic capacity (VO2max) and what's the best way to assess it? How should you structure your training when you're limited to 45-minute workout windows? Is there a benefit of doing back-to-back long rides on the weekend in Ironman training (and move the long run to midweek instead)? Is there a benefit of using various products or techniques to train your respiratory system?
