Thats a pretty random number from my first year university when I did a bike test predicted VO2max. Based off of HR. My 800m friend in the class reached 75. He’s had his retested on a treadmill the real way and I can’t remember if it was similar.
When I jog, my calfs burn up really quickly and then my legs, not necessarily my lungs. Its definitely genetic because my parents were fast runners/ never been able to jog much. I can push through the pain, but its agony. I always tell people I feel the same whether I sprint or jog a 300m, haha.
In high school I remember doing a beep test, I’m trying real hard to figure out how far I got. I want to say 7 maybe 6. Now that was in grade 9 before I started weight lifting at 170lbs.
Another indication of how terrible my aerobic capacity is, I used to go for jogs with my buddy’s overweight girlfriend, I’m talking probably over 200lbs, and we had the same aerobic tolerance. And I’m supposed to be the athlete, haha.
Anyway, suffice it to say that its bad, and some tempo with walkback recovery won’t hurt.
haha this sounds very similar to me but i dont have your speed either unfortunately. i know how you feel im not quite as bad, i can jog a mile but thats about it (and even for that i have to be very motivated to push through it), and the pains always in my legs never my lungs too. you’re not alone
