VO₂ Max vs threshold: What are they and which you should train for HYROX

Struggling to hold your pace and hit that new PB? You might be focusing on the wrong type of training. 🤯 It's the classic running debate: VO2 Max vs. Threshold. What's the difference and which one actually makes you faster on race day? 🚀 **VO2 Max:** Think of this as your engine's maximum power. It’s your absolute fitness ceiling, trained with short, all-out efforts. 🏃‍♂️ **Lactate Threshold:** This is your sustainable 'cruise control' speed. It's the fastest pace you can hold for a long time without blowing up. For most runners tackling anything from a 5k to a half-marathon, the secret weapon is **Threshold Training**. By raising your threshold, you can hold a faster pace for longer without hitting that wall. Train smarter, not just harder. #WhyRun #RunningTips #ThresholdTraining #VO2Max #Runners #UKRunning #5kTraining #10kTraining #HalfMarathon #RunnersOfFacebook
