Tabata intervals:
- How many times a week?
- How many sets?
- I don't know my VO2 max power - is 2 x FTP a reasonable approximation?
- If you're sick a little, should you carry on?
- What's with the full body shakes?

What's the goal?

I reckon any more than 2 times a week would be too many.

Usually I do 2 sets of 8, 15 seconds full on (so sprinting basically), with 15 seconds easy in between. I've not yet vomited but am always wobbly afterwards.

I only do them in race season.

What's the goal?

I'm bored of 2x20s, and wanted something that took less time, but still contribute to 1 hour sustained efforts.

I did 3x8 20 off 10 yesterday, but the 3rd set felt like a set too far, and I couldn't complete it. It feels like I could knock out 2 a week without contributing to fatigue too much.

I'll probably only do 1 a week if I'm doing any running speed work - or I may do running tabata intervals for teh lulz & to see how sick I can actually make myself.
