If you’ve been struggling to stay with your local group ride during climbs, this is the perfect session to develop the fitness needed to keep up.

When exercising, your heart and lungs work hard to pump oxygenated red blood cells to your muscle tissue. The more oxygen your body can use, the more your muscles can work.

Improving your VO2 Max increases your oxygen uptake, enabling you to increase time spent at moderate or high intensity. First we spike the effort at the start of each interval in this workout, then balance that intensity to maintain high oxygen consumption without getting you exhausted too early.

Coach’s Tip: Zwift Academy Road was developed with structure in mind. For best results, complete the workouts in order.

This training program was designed by Stephen Gallagher and Dan Fleeman from Dig Deep Coaching. Their complete coaching approach ensures every Zwift Academy athlete learns the building blocks for successful training.
