This week's 45-minute workout will continue to focus on VO2 Max intervals.
​
Just like last week, the 4-minute intervals can be done on a flat road in a big gear. The 30-second intervals can be done through short hill repeats.
​
If you have a little longer than 45 minutes for this workout, use that time at the end to extend your cool down.
​
