About this episode

Landry Bobo explains how to optimize VO₂ max training based on different cyclist rider types.

In this video, Landry Bobo explains how cyclists can optimise their VO₂ max training based on their rider type. Not all VO₂ max workouts work the same for every athlete—sprinters and punchy riders often respond better to shorter intervals like 30/15s or 40/20s, while more aerobically strong riders such as climbers or time trialists may see greater gains from longer efforts like 5×5 or 4×8 intervals. Landry breaks down how to identify whether you’re more anaerobically or aerobically dominant and how choosing the right VO₂ max workout can help maximise performance and better prepare for racing.📧Email me at Landry@evoq.bike👉Coach Bio: https://www.evoq.bike/landry-bobo-bio🚀Free Power File Analysis From a Professional Coach: https://www.evoq.bike/power-file-analysis-lbStrava: https://www.strava.com/athletes/1317545Chapters:00:00 Introduction – VO₂ Max Training Explained01:02 Identifying Your Rider Type04:41 Anaerobic vs Aerobic Riders07:00 Best VO₂ Max Workouts for Anaerobic Riders10:29 Best VO₂ Max Workouts for Aerobic Riders11:28 Training vs Race Specificity👋🏽 If you're new to the channel, welcome!
