@ScarU
VO2 Max Testing – 11/2 – 7:00 am @ WWP-HSS Track
I’d like to organize a workout to estimate VO2 max, which is perhaps the single best predictor of longevity (see attached paper). VO2 max is formally measured in a lab (usually on a treadmill or bike), which can cost $250+ and take weeks to schedule. It can be estimated using the Cooper Test, in which you run hard for 12 minutes or 1.5 miles, and the Rockport Test, in which you walk briskly for 1 mile (this requires measuring heart rate). We would run on the WWP-HSS track or another 400m track. Would a morning on the weekend of Oct 12-13 or Oct 26-27 work?
