Mir gefaellt sein Abschluss:
"Generally speaking, there is nothing magical about physiological “sweet spots” such as VO2max and lactate threshold. Research has shown that endurance athletes tend to improve most at the speeds they focus on in training. Training at VO2max speed improves performance at that speed more than training at any other speed does, but it will not improve your performance at any other speed (say, 10 percent slower than VO2max speed) more than training at that other speed will. So the only circumstance in which it would be especially important to focus on VO2max intensity is if it happened to correspond to your race speed for a given race distance. But even then you could ignore the underlying physiology and simply train by speed."
