About EZ VO2 Training
EZ VO2 Training is a distance running training program designed to maximize performances through the use of targeted training paces. VO2 demand is the theoretical required rate of VO2 capabilities needed to run at a particular speed. This pace (VO2) is a percentage of best 800, 1600, 3200, or 5K performances. From this pace, all training runs can be planned.
