Yeah I get your point, I guess what I don't have as much of a feel for is the benefits of having a more rounded training program vs just doing quite targeted (and repetitive) efforts at similar workouts. But maybe that's also a question of "how do I react" and everyone's different in terms of how much variation they need in the training diet too

2 to 3 VO2 sessions per week. The rest easy stuff. If you hit your targets easily - bump duration or intensity. If you struggle, check your recovery days aren't too much and if that's not the cause reduce duration (typically, if you reduce intensity too much you're training different energy systems)
hippy
I'm clearly having a joke here but my point is it's pretty damn easy to build up a progressive VO2 workout schedule. You might want to start at threshold though and work from there, depending on where you're at, 120% might kill you or be a piece of piss. That's the problem with just grabbing training plans.
