Day 1: VO2Max Training

This is my first online training journal. Well although first here, it’s not my first training log. I’ve been keeping track of my workout since last year and only now I wanted to share it online

I start the training week on Monday and will continue up to Saturday. Sunday is off and hopefully it will be a splendid week for me. Let’s train and burn those fats

Type Workout: VO2Max

Duration: 1.5 hours (9 to 10.30am)

Workout Details:

1. 6x300m
2. Hit below 51 seconds
3. Rest time 2 minutes

VO2Max

This type of workout improves one’s physical fitness. Such training increases your capacity to transport and utilize oxygen during incremental exercise

Scientifically speaking it’s the maximum amount of oxygen that can be removed from circulating blood and used by the working tissues and muscles during a certain amount of time.

Of course what I want is high VO2 maximums, so as my endurance will improve. The more endurance training I do, the higher my VO2 Max will become

Thoughts

From my previous 300m training, I averaged 51.8 seconds comfortably, so today I target to do six sets of 300m below 51 seconds with 2 minutes of rest time

But I guess I went too fast for the first two sets, a sub 50 seconds timing and gradually lactic begins to accumulate. This is what I don’t want. This is not meant to be lactic training, but VO2Max training. I should be just out of breath, and not feeling the lactic at my ass and legs

So I slowed down on the very last set, to prevent the onset of lactic. After the workout, I jogged extra during warming down to remove excess lactic acid. Better run then or I’ll feel it the next day
