that data is from a test at the Stanford Human Performance Lab. My first and last volunteering for a test. It was miserable. I haven't had vO2 tested since, so no idea. I imagine I use more (my power is much higher now) o2 but the KG are higher too.

The best part was having to swallow the core thermometer, which was a long strand of plastic that you swallow and the lead hangs out your mouth... while you test. Not very comfortable. Then as the blood is tested you get your finger pricked every 3 minutes. I have bad circulation, so sometimes they had to try multiple fingers. I looked like ET at the end, with the tips of my fingers swollen and red.

I did a series of like 4 or 5 1-hour sessions, so 20 finger ****** each time doing a threshold TT on an ill-fitting computrainer stationary bike in a room without AC or a fan (they were testing core temp vs. some things). The pools of sweat were epic, and disgusting. My sweat rate was measured at 5lbs/hour.

I'd be interested in a test for my own curiosity now, but like most numbers they don't really do much so I haven't sought it out. You don't get a plaque for your vO2 number or LT power.

(also in regards to that vO2 number, I swear the apparatus was not allowing me to get the full volume of air. There was resistance on the inhalation through the 1-way valves that I wasn't expecting. I imagine I could have improved that number immediately if I had done vO2 testing a couple of times in a row and gotten acclimated to the process. But vO2 unfortunately was only in the first test as they selected candidates to continue into the other rounds)
