You NEED MORE ⏰ TIME! More TIME BREATHING really hard 🌬️!

Ingvill Odden wants you to understand that YES✅, we can say with more certainty now that the more time you spend at VO2max, or at least the higher percentage of VO2max you are at during your HIIT, the greater your performance outcomes will be. Plus, if you are struggling, start with SHORTER HIIT - like we have always been highlighting here at HIIT Science ;)!

In the 136th episode of The Training Science Podcast, Paul and Ingvill discuss:

🚲 how and why the AMOUNT of VO2max used during your HIIT matters;

⏳ how to OPTIMISE your interval DURATION and INTENSITY choices;

🥑 the significance of FAT oxidation & low-intensity training volume for HIIT GAINS!
