Advanced Marathoning with VO₂ Max Testing

Pete Pfitzinger's advanced plans include:

• 18/70: 70-mile peak weeks
• 18/85: 85-mile peak weeks
• 12/70: High mileage in compressed timeline
• Multiple quality sessions per week

High mileage demands precise intensity management:

• Recovery runs must be truly easy to handle volume
• Quality sessions at exact threshold
• Marathon pace verification under fatigue
• Prevent chronic overtraining

Pfitzinger's advanced plans include complex workouts:

• Long runs with marathon pace segments
• VO₂ max intervals at 5K pace
• Lactate threshold tempo runs
• Recovery runs between hard sessions

VO₂ max testing provides exact paces for each intensity.

Advanced marathoners benefit from mid-cycle retesting:

• Week 1: Initial test for baseline zones
• Week 10-12: Retest to adjust zones
• Pre-taper: Final verification

VO₂ Max Test: $250
