I've done VO2 max testing at least 4 different times and I'd have to say that it's always been enlightening. Though once I got used to using my HR zones from the VO2 max testing in conjunction with my HRM, I got a good sense of where my zones are by feel and now I rely on my perceived exertion more than an HRM. Getting the VO2 max done and using that data with the HRM was key for learning that skill.

I had the Vo2 Max test this morning and it was certainly challenging to say the least! I am VERY glad that I went the spinning bike route rather than the treadmill. It wasn't until about 6 minutes into the test that I actually started feeling anything, but things certain changed! My "score" was 34.7, the high end of "excellent" for my age group. Very interesting, and I found that I cross the anaerobic threashold earlier than I thought.
