I’ve been pretty busy as of late getting our new training facility set up and ready to go, so I don’t have a lot of time to respond here - but Duxx is doing a great job.

Funny you should bring up the whole VO2 max issue…

I train CF style with the speed/tempo days and my lacrosse team makes everyone do fitness testing. So I get on the treadmill for the VO2 max test. The speed of the treadmill goes up every few minutes and you’re supposed to run until you can’t anymore(There’s no oxygen mask or anything). They also measure you’re heart rate at the same time…

So, I start out fine and go up to about 13 minutes or something… then I just get off because I didn’t feel like doing it anymore. The guy running the test was truly amazed at how low my heart rate was throughout the test. He kept telling me he’s never seen anyone with a heart rate that low, so far into the test. Then he asks me why I got off the treadmill… and I just told him. “I don’t care about VO2 max…”

LOL!
Blinky, you made my morning look better! Thanks!

Hence, you didn’t perform maximally.
Well done! You wasted time and effort for both of you… :rolleyes:

Yes, but he kicked that guy right into the nuts! :eek:

But, again, you are right Nik!

I was forced to do the fitness test anyway… So, you could say I wasted “less” effort than if I had completed the test.
