Run Training Plan

Friday Fartlek Run – Canadian Running Mag’s Inverted Pyramid

Your VO2 max is a measure of the maximum amount of oxygen your body can utilise during exercise. If you increase your VO2 max, any run below that level is therefore easier (in theory). Spending time training at VO2 Max intensity will generate performance enhancements for runners of all distances but runners and triathlete running distances up to 10km will benefit the most.
