I think they were asking about how you translate this: “6 x (40+20sec) 95% / 50% of your VO2 Max test result”

Is that 6 sets of 40seconds @ 95% Vo2, with 20seconds @ 50% Vo2?

All interval intensities refer to your VO2 max test on Day 1. Thus, if you performed 350W on average during the 5min test, then
100% = 350W
80% = 280W
50% = 175W
etc.

Just wanted to get a better understanding of how the 14 day V02 max increase booster program works. When I read it, it says for example on day four what does tghe 6 x (40+20 sec) 95% of your VO2 max actually mean what are these numbers could you pleae break it down a step futher. thank you very much.

In this case a power meter mounted on your MTB would probably give you the answer. Also you would notice how difficult it is to maintain a wattage in the target zone.

If you don’t have a power meter, I would recommend you to do the intervals on sligthly uphills with not-so-technical tracks.

Still it is possible (and a good choice once in a while) to perform the intervals in the enviroment you compete in.
