#78: VO2 max and lactate threshold explained and is it worth getting properly tested?

About this episode

This episode is based on a question from listener Kevin who asked if I had ever had my VO2 max and lactate threshold tested and whether I would recommend it.



To help answer this question I dive into what the measurements actually are and how they translate to your fitness.



I talk about how you can measure or estimate these things and how you can train them to be 'better'. Finally I answer the question of whether accurate measurements are going to help you improve your running.
