6:30 a.m. headlamp mountain bike ride up Canyon Hollow down Rush. Legs pretty tired from Saturday.
10 a.m. Vo2 Max test at Lifetime Fitness. Probably should have done this more rested, but they offered me a free test since I'm doing a trial membership right now. I was just curious because I've never had a Vo2 Max test done.
Unfortunately my legs were too flat from Saturday to really push myself for very long. Only got through 5 miles with the trainer bumping up the pace every 2 minutes. I still got some useful information though.
He said my heart rate never got over 160 bpm, and based on my oxygen output he's certain my max is much higher than that. Said my Vo2 Max score was 76.5 whatever that means. Also said my weakness is not aerobic capacity, its my legs. If I could strengthen my legs I could run fast for much longer. Already knew that.
My conclusion: more speedwork + strength work=faster Nan.
