Spring is in the air, the weather is beautiful, the sun is staying out later in the evenings, which can only mean one thing; it's time to partake in some pain and suffering and possibly vomiting while trying to get in shape. Today I will partake in some pain and suffering on the spin bike since I can't make it to the track.
The goal for these interval ladder workouts is to raise VO2Max, or put more simply, to be able to ride at the same comfort level while getting faster. Your VO2 max is a measure of the maximum amount of oxygen your body can use to produce energy. Increasing your VO2 max is relatively easy for new riders or riders at a lower training level. Speed workouts also improve neuromuscular conditioning, lactate threshold and riding economy.
