VO2 max efforts = 3-5 min all out, everything you have, rest and repeat... or to quote one of those online coaches - "ride until you see Jesus". I'm not real religious, but I think I've seen him once or twice doing that, and that is when my HR is 168-170.
So that's all that's to it? Flat out for 3-5 mins and repeat then check your heart rate? I'll do that today. I'm curious now. Thank you, Smokey
