Regardless, 20x45 sec with 1 min rest is not a VO2 max workout. It's almost like you don't know what you are doing.

Well, you know it's called a "maxVO2" workout , but the main purpose with it is about something else. 😉🧙‍♂️

So you call maxVO2 to a workout that has nothing to do with VO2 max. Probably the same reason you call Hans to Herbert Reindell. Because you have no idea what you're talking about.

I'm becoming less and less convinced of the possibility of sub-20 anytime this year. I will be very, very surprised if it happens, but still willing to have Jan say "I told you so" if he manages it.

Ah, could you please let us see what he wrote?, so we all can learn of it!

No, I have learnt from earlier 'cases' as e.g my coaching of Pietro Riva not to give it out here at LRC. 😉

I right now checked the thread chat with mr Tjelta ( back in year 2017) and he told he agreed the purpose with the maxVO2 intervals is to improve running economy at 5 k race pace and not mainly to improve maxO2 to it's highest individual possible level. 🧙‍♂️

Soemtimes I think "Jan isn't that clueless".

Then I read posts like this and realise he has absolutely no idea about anything. It shows you good athletes of days past, often don't make good coaches.

I genuinely used to think this dude got a hard time, then he started to post absolute clueless nonsense in the nsm thread (those boys don't suffer fools!) and now actually this post just confirms; Jan really has very little understanding of any of the training of technical terms he uses.

Coach Stenson's online persona is totally different from who he really is. I've met him twice in his hometown in Sweden, and he's very quiet and unassuming. He's an introvert at heart. Don't read too much into online statements.

No it absolutely does not. Showing more signs of ignorance that make people doubt you as being a coach

VO2max is the size of your engine, your ceiling. Efficiency is the actual amount of O2 you require (ml/kg/km). The VO2max is more of an inherent parameter whereas efficiency can be improved. A runner with a cost of 50ml/kg/km at VO2max of 75 is better than one with a cost of 60 at VO2max of 80 by 12.5%

I have now commented this with shorter so called maxVO2 intervals and their main purpose , and if you think you know more about it than one of the world's leading physiologists I let you believe that... 😁🧙‍♂️ Have a nice day. 🖐
