    1) typically, means training at a very high intensity, which can only be maintained for a short duration
    2) typically longer training sessions at a lower intensity
    3) the amount of oxygen that can be taken in and used by the exercising muscles. The more O2 that can be used, the faster you can ride during aerobic training.
    4) a chemical by-product of energy production in the working muscles. It can be processed and removed by the body, but is related to that burning sensation in the legs if it begins to build up.
    5) how many times per minute you get that thumpity-thump feeling in your chest.

    Here's a great website which talks about most of those concepts:
