Well, top end of VO2Max is 447 from WKO+ (ie, I have done no testing to see if this is right and don't do any intervals aimed at that), so that would put me at 5.2L/min or 56mL/min/kg - which is in line with the figure I got from this site that also has a calculation for O2 consumption:

to get a value for VO2 you need to enter your climb as a maximal effort. Here is my effort:

http://www.hillclimbr.com/sites/clim...5?OpenDocument

which shows a VO2Max of 54mL/min/kg - bang on the money really seeing as I have lost weight since then.

Interestingly that site also calculates your watts for the climb - listing that one as an average of 328W, however the real figure for that one was actually 385W - so I must be blowing a lot of my power on CdA (which I have been working on).

Cheers
