Minimum Effective Dose — Level 2: VO2

Low-time maintenance plan

Days: Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday (+ Sunday in the 4-hour option).

$13.99 USD one-time payment

Same rider as always: 3–4 hours and no more. Eight weeks of threshold are done, and now it's time to raise the ceiling.

How it's built

You get Week 0 through Week 9: the optional transition, the 8 work weeks and the closing week.

  1. Week 0 — transition
    Optional

    Just finished another plan from the collection (Level 1, for example)? Do Week 0. Coming off rest or unstructured riding? Skip it and start at Week 1.

  2. Weeks 1 to 8 — the plan
    8 weeks

    The full work block, day by day, with warm-up, main set, cool-down and goal.

  3. Week 9 — wrap-up
    Included

    Plan wrap-up and instructions for what's next: how to evaluate what you gained and what to do after.

Prerequisite

Minimum Effective Dose Level 1.

What's included

  • 8 weeks
  • Days: Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday (+ Sunday in the 4-hour option)
  • Intensity by %FTP, with feel (RPE) as backup
A sample day

Example (Week 1): VO2 4×5. 15 min warm-up with 3×1 min activation. 4×5 min @ 106–110% FTP with 5 min Z1 between sets, 90–100 rpm. Cool-down. RPE 9: you can barely talk during each set.

How it works

  1. 1. You buy the plan (one-time payment).
  2. 2. Your account is created and you unlock the week-by-week calendar.
  3. 3. Every day you see your workout in plain language: warm-up, main set, cool-down and goal. Intensity by feel.
  4. 4. You mark the day as done and keep moving forward.
