Easy Miles	Marathon Pace Miles	Threshold Miles	VO2 Max Miles	Total Distance
7.00	0.00	0.00	3.00	10.00

AM-10 miles with 16x1 min on 1 min off at mile-2 mile race intensity. Probably more than three VO2 max miles but rounded off to three. It's the effort that counts.. Amazing weather for it also. Sunny and in the high 50s:) 7th/13th east. o/b.

On a side note, some physiologists now say there is no such thing as VO2 max? http://www.scienceofrunning.com/2009/12/fallacy-of-vo2max-and-vo2max.html That it's all a function of some level of lactate threshold and central governor theory. Steve Magness in the "Science of Running" states that we should not perhaps even aim for VO2 max. I'm not an exercise physiologist but for now I'll stick with this category. Maybe someone who knows Exercise Physiology can chime in..

PM-Bike for 11 miles then some salmon cakes and beer. Yum.. Got this recipe from "A man a can and a plan" recipe book. It's pretty good..

Is there a study or article you could point to? It seems like Vo2 Max is a perfectly real thing but whether or not it's the most key determining fact could, and like is, argued against.

I like vo2 Max miles because they are fast, but they aren't fun. :-) I like the minutes/fartlek style of getting my faster end stuff in. Several weeks ago I did 10 x 2 minutes (2 min recovery) and was amazed at how difficult it was. As you say the effort is important. Just use the watch to keep time.
