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?
