Episode notes
Prioritize Heart Rate
- Prioritize heart rate over power during VO2max intervals.
- Focus on how your body feels instead of hitting specific wattage targets.
Cadence & Cardiac Output
- Higher cadence increases VO2 and cardiac output at the same power output.
- This leads to a larger stroke volume, crucial for long-term VO2max gains.
Increase Cadence
- Increase your cadence during VO2max intervals to enhance effectiveness.
- This maximizes diastolic filling and eccentric hypertrophy of the heart.
