Some stats on me:
My VO2 max measured at 52,6 mL/kg/min on the 23rd of June 2025.
I will be training for about 14 weeks, my next test is planned for the 5th of October. This followup test decides the outcome of this market.
I am doing 2 hours of zone 2 training, and one 4x4 interval training session per week, all done on an elliptical machine
I have been following this protocol for the past 4 weeks without exception, starting from the 30th of June.
I weighed about 93kg at the time of the test, now down to around 90kg, but I dont expect further weight loss.
My Whoop has estimated a rise in VO2 max from 52 to 54 over the past four weeks.
I am 23 and have been going to the gym for 5+ years, but I have not really done any targeted cardio vascular training for long periods of time. According to Whoop statistics, in the year prior to my test, I averaged some sort of logged cardiovascular activity about once every two weeks.
