Has anyone had their VO2 max tested? Was it worth the cost? I'm curious to know if it provided any actionable insights for your training. Did you make any changes to your workouts based on the results? Would love to hear about your experience!
Yeah, I got my VO2 max tested last year. It was interesting to see the numbers, but I'm not sure it was worth the $$$ for me. I mean, I already knew I wasn't built for speed. The results did help me adjust my zone training, but I could've figured that out on my own with some trial and error. If you're a serious competitor, maybe it's worth it. But for us mortals, I'm not so sure.
I'm with you on this. Unless you're a pro athlete, I don't think VO2 max testing is worth the cost. You can get a good estimate of your fitness level from a simple treadmill test or even just paying attention to your runs. The results might be interesting, but it's not like it's going to revolutionize your training.
