A runner’s VO2 Max measures the rate at which oxygen is transported to muscles. Obviously, having a high VO2 Max is critical to running fast times. A VO2 Max is developed by running intervals of 2-6 minute duration. Some of my favorite VO2 Max Workouts include:
- 6 to 10 x 800 meters
- 5 to 10 x 1,000 meters
- 4 to 8 x 1,200 meters
- 3 to 6 x 1,600 meters
