Your first week

This is Engine Builder, Week 1.

Three sessions a week. The other four days are yours — keep your box, your coach, your own runs. Terav writes the focus arc. No mystery, no filler.

Mon

Z2 base row

40 min · HR 75–85% max

Easy — conversational. The block where mitochondrial density and capillary work quietly compound.

Cites
Seiler 2010 · Brooks 2018
Wed

Norwegian 4×4

4 × 4 min @ 90–95% HRmax · 3 min recovery

The canonical VO2max interval. The single most studied protocol in the program.

Cites
Helgerud 2007 · Wisløff 2007
Fri

Threshold row

3 × 8 min @ pace-5 · 2 min rest

Just under LT2 — the number that keeps improving after VO2max plateaus.

Every other program shows the same shape — a concrete prescription for each session, cited to the primary source. Adaptive changes propose against your log; you Accept or Ignore.

What Terav is not↓
  • Not a clinician. Red-flag patterns surface a banner, not a diagnosis.
  • Not certain about you. VO2max response varies ~10× person-to-person. We quote ranges, not one number.
  • Not a streak game. Skip a week. The plan sharpens against that too.
Where the rigor comes from
“It started with my own hip. Then I realised everyone is working around something.”

The engine was built against one real log — years of strength work fought around a stubborn hip. Every retest gate, symptom rule and confirm-first mechanic had to prove itself there before it shipped. Your weakness will be a different one. Terav is a focused-improvement tool, not a full training plan — it runs alongside your box, your coach, or your own week. If you have a specific medical issue, work with a clinician.

One intake.
Then your focus sharpens every session.

Ten minutes of questions and a short physical check. Tomorrow your first focus session lands — written against your history, with citations. You apply each change — or ignore it.
