Interesting thread, thank you @mprevost. Having recently had my VO2max tested in the lab, I can confirm that it pretty well matches for me. 1.5 mile run time 11:29 but that was a little over a year ago. VO2max lab test result was 47.3 last month, but that was on the bike, not running. So there are some variables there, but it does seem to be pretty close (11:30 = 44.4).
So would you say that most any working strategy for improving 1.5 mile run time will improve V02max, and vice versa? And if so, what are the benefits (other than being a faster runner); such as health and performance in other areas?
Top 5% there Ms. Anna!
