I certainly hope so or I've wasted a potentially world class cycling career. Did a cyce ergometer sub-max test today which gave me a predicted vo2 max of 78.4. How innacurate are those tests? I'm guessing very.

More to cycling potential than VO2 max...

I had a VO2 max test done about 5 or 6 years ago by a well-respected and experienced guy.

Apparently, my results put me as having pro athlete potential 8)

At that time I was very fit (aerobically in particular) - several hours a week of Karate, commuting to work, mountain biking some evenings/weekend & weights.

My VO2 max would make an asthmatic gerbil feel pleased 🙁
