Notes

Holy VO2max Batman! This one was a tough one. I ran my last VO2max test in May when I scored 73.2 ml/kg/min but today I managed to top that. Last time I thought I was on fatigued legs from having ran 18 miles the day before the test and 15 the day before that so this time I went rested and recovered hoping to be able to go all the way on the test. I failed to get my RER (Respiratory Exchange Ratio) past 1.0 when they prefer that it goes over 1.05 for the test to be complete. Next time they will set the pace faster and the incline lower so hopefully I will get there before I run out of hills and calf muscles. So this time I scored 79.1 ml/kg/min which is mighty high! It shows that the engine is there I just need a better chassis around it if I want to run to my fullest potential. My work is definitely cut out for the next 5 or so years...
