VO2 max training

​Longevity SF, the San Francisco Chapter of Longevity Global, is hosting a VO2 Max training session. It will be the most evidence-based way to increase your VO2 max, the Norwegian 4X4.

Protocol:

5-10 min warm-up, followed by 4 reps of (4 min hard / 3 min active recovery), and a 5-10 min cool-down.

The goal is to reach 85-95% of maximum heart rate during the work intervals.

​This will be go at your own pace so don't feel like you have to be fast (I'm not) or even complete all the intervals to show up and start working on your VO2 max. Anything you can do will improve your fitness.

​Having a high VO2 max is great for your longevity and for dementia prevention. Read my article on the Science of VO2 Max and Dementia Prevention.

We will meet at the Fulton side of the Polo Field track in Golden Gate Park near 30th Ave (see red X in the photo). There will be a warm up and some stretching and then we will start the intervals.
