Q&A #74 - How to deal with lack of tune-up races; Intervals vs. continuous hard exercise to improve VO2max
  • If there are no tune-up races available before your A-race, what can you do to replace the race preparation normally gained from these tune-up races?
  • Are intervals or continuous hard exercise more likely to get you close to VO2max, and why? 
  • How can you manipulate intervals to get your heart rate closer to maximum heart rate? 
  • Why heart rate is not a perfect proxy for VO2
