Leadville 100 Training: Vo2Max block = done. Onto threshold training!
Just wrapped 8 weeks of VO2Max work and started my threshold block today.
Block 2 felt completely different than Block 1. Block 1 just beat me up. Block 2 started to click — same routes, lower heart rate, paces that felt hard a month ago starting to feel controlled. Something shifted.
Was doing hills, 600 surges, 800s, and 1Ks with recovery runs and weighted vest walks mixed in. Strength 3x a week on top of that.
The weighted vest walks were a surprise honestly. Low effort but they hammered my legs in a way that felt really specific to what I'm training for.
Now switching to threshold for the next 8 weeks. Different kind of hard — less "survive the interval," more "hold uncomfortable for a long time." Hoping it translates to the easier paces feeling even easier when it matters.
Anyone else done a structured VO2Max block going into threshold work? Did the transition feel weird at first or did it flow naturally?
