Zone 5 Cycling VO₂ Power
Zone 5 cycling VO₂ power is short near-max riding—often roughly 106–120% of FTP—to raise aerobic ceiling when spaced with ample easy volume.
Zone 5 cycling VO₂ power is near-maximal wattage—often roughly 106–120% of functional threshold power—for short repeats that stress maximal aerobic uptake. Efforts typically run three to five minutes with full recovery between reps.
Frequency stays low: one quality session per week suits most amateurs. Requires a base of zone 2 volume first.
Common questions
-
How many zone 5 intervals per week?
