A higher VO2 means you can take on more oxygen and go faster.

For myself, I discovered the benefits through running (sprinting up that hill, or to the next lamp post etc) and then found cycling up hill was so much easier. That in turns means I tend to cycle using hilly routes which in turn improves my running, sort of win-win.

For so long I would default to the easy / flat route but no more. If only I’d taken all this more seriously 25 years ago….!

I remember hearing a while back about ‘fartlek’ training, which I think is related. Do you know if this applies to cycling?
