67: What is VLamax? With Sebastian Weber

Today we take a close look at physiological testing and we address ways it can have a significant impact on how you train, and how quickly you progress. First, we define FTP, and why it may not be the be-all-end-all of training. If you have an FTP of 350 watts, you should be proud. We talk also about VO2max testing and most importantly, how to apply all of these tests to improve your ride. Our primary guest today is physiologist Sebastian Weber, Armando Mastracci, Neal Henderson, and Rebecca Rusch. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
