Workout Wednesday: Short VO2 Run Intervals

This is an Intermediate-Advanced 9km-13.5km run workout focusing on improving your VO2 Max! Use this workout to target your aerobic capacity by working above your threshold effort. At these distances/durations, you should never feel "gassed" by the end of the work sets, though an accumulation of fatigue will occur throughout the workout. The efforts associated with each rep is based on your maximum capacity for a 6-minute VO2 Interval. 90% of your maximum effort should feel like a fast and smooth 200m effort, similar to the 85% effort on 400m, it's a bit slower than the 200m effort but you want to feel a similar burn without tipping over the edge beyond recovery.
