There a plenty of examples in the VO2 max booster program. If you prefer to do planned intervals then that’s your Fartlek session. I prefer to keep the training program this way because it makes the training program more flexible.

Do you have a good alternative workout to fartlek or a race for this day? I’d rather continue doing at least some type of intervals or a more specific plan.

i totally agree with you jesper for mid week races or fertlek to improve
your VOmax improvement, for me as a head coach for bahrain cycling team i always focus on a fast motor pacing fertlek which i play in speed
of the motor bike , so i go like 50 to 55km for 5 to 8 minuts then i keep the speed for lets say 40– 45km for 15 mints before i increase the speed again, but make sure that you have the riders that they can do
this sort of work and they have enough experience to get the wheels of other riders.
