Simon Says Tri! 🏊🚴🏃

My Run VO2 is 62.2! Ramped up to 10mph at 8% incline, increasing speed every 2.5 minutes. My aerobic threshold was 168 HR, anaerobic threshold was 189 HR, and max HR was 201!
Great data and see what we can do to improve!

Your treadmill played a A9 chord throughout the video. Well done on getting it tuned.

I was pushing it hard with a pack of bike riders into the wind, on a bridge, in 97 F heat. My heartrate was 190 on the climb. When we made it over the top of the hill, my heart free-spooled to 209 as the load came off my legs and I was spinning the pedals without resistance. I got a little nervous when I saw the number on my monitor. I can't remember the last time I had my heart rate that high. I was 47 at the time.
Cyclists are nuts.

62 isn’t bad at all don’t worry about getting to the 80 and 90 because that’s just genetics if you can get into the 70s you are very fit and even 60s is well above the average “fit” person

I did this test when I was 52 years old and got a 52 V02 Max
Im 57 now and after nearly 2 years with long covid im at about 40 now
Slowly trying to regain my fitness
Apparently 40 is not too bad for my age but it's alot less than I was precovid

[archismansaha]

well, Tim O’ Donnell came 2nd in 2019 Ironman World Championships breaking 8 hours and I can remember him saying in one of his videos that he has a vo2 max something in the 60s and most pros have it in that ballpark as well. 80-90s are just exceptional. Rumours are there that Kristian Blummenfelt has gone past the charts but he is still getting beaten in ITU(I am a Blumme fan though), so that’s that.

[Power-driver]

I am using suunto 9 baro watches and now my vo2max is about 48, but in summer (if watches telling true) I did my record and my vo2max was 52. I am an amateur 15 year old triathlete. So, hope I can get higher results. Good luck bro!

[triazo]

had to do this test on a bike at the doctor. i think i never got as nauseous as i did after that test LMAO

[achristianson]

For whatever my blood pressure was was 204/172 in Feb when I went to the doc for physical.. I didn’t even go in for high blood pressure, I went for a work physical. I’m on blood pressure pills and he just upped my dose bc it’s still elevated. I’ve always been active, I walk 5-7 miles a day, and sprinkle in my runs. I’m 43, 6’1 265lb non-smoker, light social drinking which is far and in between, and no diabetes. High cholesterol ( also for some reason which was detected when I was 23 exiting Marines, and just went on cholesterol pill to suppress that for first time also). hoping I can get to baseline and start more structured cardio workouts. My doc says he wouldn’t recommend I do long workouts that push my blood pressure, so I’m basically cutting weight with just diet, water and walks and light quick shuffle runs and low-energy basketball. Crazy how quick your physical self can breakdown and how sensitive the machine is. All good, I needed the reality check

[guitarlearningtoplay]

People with my illness, Inappropriate sinus tachycardia have over 200 heart rate none stop without meds laying down or standing. IST is any avg resting heart rate over 100 beats/minute. Mine for example is 105 laying, 165 standing and 180s walking. And I can not take any medications for it. So my heart has been running a marathon for over a decade now none stop. Not fun and I am disable from it because it affects my asthma

[someguyusa]

I'm 35yo, about a month passed a covid infection, and did a 1.5 mile Cooper vo2 max test on a treadmill. My max heart rate during the test reached 204bpm, and my vo2 score was 36.2 per the equation. I got some work to do. I hope that max heart rate isn't a problem.

[neiluk]

It’s probably quite difficult to design a protocol to hit your max heart rate, so could be slight underestimate. For me, if I was to do this test, my legs would give out before my cardiovascular system. My max is in the mid 170s and I’ve hit it only a handful of times and each time it was during a longer tempo / threshold run in the heat. I have a good idea of what my threshold heart rate is from various races so use that to set my zones.

[dztszqm]

I’m going in 8th grade and Vo2 max is 52. My goal is to get about 57~58 Vo2 max and to be able to run a sub 22 minute 5k before going in high school. I wish I could be like the cross countries runners, They’re such a beast😅

[JamesJones-ctnm]

62 is as high as it gets. I've never seen 80 or 90 and I've ran 100s of tests

[filipe_paixao]

Did they measure the lactate in your blood or did they assume the Aerobic and Anaerobic thresholds based on a spike in Co2?

[cykbvns]

I do HIIT resistance training(dumbbells/nautilus) and treadmill speed walking with about 10 % of that being jogging, and 10 % sprinting. ALL my training is at minimum, level 2 cardio. And I always hit peak BPM several times every session.
I basically never go below level 2, unless I'm warming up, or occasionally in between resistance training sets. I go to full exhaustion on all sets, using 15 second rest intervals. If I don't feel I can maintain that level of intensity. I stay home. However, I average 5 workouts per week, 1000+ active minutes per week, and a marathon/ultramarathon every 6 weeks. Both my RHR, and Vo2max are 53. Which is athletic/elite for my age of 66.
I think too many people rely on trainers, or others to develop an effective routine.
If we are honest with ourselves, we are the best judges of what needs to be done, and the effort needed to accomplish it.
If any senior citizen out there, can better my results. I'd like to know how they did it. I'm always looking for a better process. Thanks to this man, Huberman, Goggins, Cavaliere, Galpin, Willink, and others for sharing their knowledge, and inspiration.

[welanduzfullo]

average pro is in the high 70s to maybe low low 80s 😭😭😭

[nahjustaverage]

My V02 max is 64.2. Highest heart rate i get during easy runs in around 200 (heart monitor), around 190 for long runs, around 68 when sleeping, and about 90 when at rest. No idea why, i'm not out of shape i just have a high heart rate.

[ScottPalangi]

Ive done this too. HRM is actually the second most accurate method of output.

[zjwilson]

I raced that same Ironman Texas. That wind was brutal!
