Recently took the plunge and bought a power meter and I am looking for a few creative workout ideas. Anybody want to recommend me their favorite VO2max and threshhold workouts?

Creative is over valued.
3x20 minutes with a fair few minutes inbetween. I like 5 minutes... sometimes I want 10.

2X20 at 100% FTP (Threshold)
1X60 at 90% FTP (Threshold)
5X5 at 110-120% FTP (VO2)
2X10 Microintervals (15 sec. at 150% FTP and 15 sec. 50% FTP for 10 min.)
10 X 15-sec. sprints (don't look at powermeter...just chew on stem)
Nice workouts and you don't need many (if any) recovery days between 'em.

Go to the Saris site and check out the WorkOut Library.
Also sign up for their news letter. They just included 8 winter workouts and will include more in the up coming issue. Good stuff.

Haven't tried it, but the Coggan 90/90/90 looks like fun...
Quoted post said:
Seriously, the best season I've had in recent years followed a winter
during which I did the following '90/90'90' workout 3 d/wk:5 min w/u
20 min @ 275 W
5 min easy
5 min @ 325 W
2.5 min easy
5 min @ 325 W
2.5 min easy
0.5 min at 500 W
2 min easy
0.5 min at 500 W
2 min easy
0.5 min at 500 W
2 min easy
0.5 min at 500 W
2.5 min easy
5 min warm-downThe '90/90/90' refers to the fact that (almost by chance) the powers
used were about 90% of the best that I could produce for that duration
when at peak fitness. That made the session challenging enough that I
didn't lose too much fitness over the winter, but not so hard that I
ever dreaded the workout or burned out from doing it. -
Okay. I just posted this in a different section, but I think this applies to you. Basics of Training with Power 2WheelLove | A community for people who love bikes. Keywords: FTP, watts, power, Training

Some nice workouts from Bill Black: http://www.cyclingforums.com/cycling-training/449942-hop-progression.html

I like this one - the "pacing" workout. good for criss-crossing ftp and mentally goes by very quickly, even when training indoors.
