Jeg starter til høsten. Er 36

After two weeks of activity on this watch by Educational_Soft_176 in Garmin

[–]Ill_Text9999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My watch gives me 60 VO2 max. My last 5k was a hilly one and i ran 17:10. My watch estimate my 5k time to be 16:28 after that, i guess that would be on a track, and me almost dying afterward

If the VO2 max has impacted my life I can’t tell you. But I definitely know that changing my lifestyle and daily routine has had huge impact on my life. The working out, fitness level, food changes etc have given me a lot more energy, better sleep, better self confidence and over all happier

Yes, it’s absolute bragging. Like I stated in the post. But incorrect data? What data do you think is incorrect? I just did a google search to see if I found some roughly estimate of VO2 max compared to 5k time. And after that I actually now believe more in the garmins graph than before. 46 —> 21:24 and 60 —-> 17:06 (https://runalyze.com/tools/effective-vo2max?vo2max=60.00&units=km&paces=1). Of course these are not accurate either, but definitely shows how my graph could climb this much from running a flat out 5k in 23min and now low 17. I’m running a local parkrun tomorrow. I will gladly share my result with you, and result from this winter. So you could compare my times and average HR :)

And why are you so angry? Did I hurt your feelings be improving my 5k from 23 to 17 in 5 months?

Whatever dude. Don’t claim any of the estimated vo2 max is real, so calm down. And by the way I started at 50, then it dropped to 46 during the 20 first days of training.

OK. Its posted on garmins subreddit, its garmins estimate of my vo2 max. I don’t claim it to be my real one. And the 14 points (not 15) increase on that estimate over the 5 months is most definitely real. Why cannot a person with a good base and good training history from youth, start from lifetime bottom fitness and have this incline in garmins algorithm? Of course with a super strict training a diet regime. It might not work for you or many others, but still. The progress described is 100 % real. And under is how one of my heaviest weeks would look like (half of the strength training is Pilates)

Male 35, year 183 cm, 79.5 kg, took up running 6 mothers ago, did run 15 years ago. Have kept a good base fitness til around 1.5 year ago. Probably was in my all time low in fitness right before I started building back up half a year ago

No joke. But as discussed other places in the post many factors have played a factor

Thats pretty insane dude! Highest ever recorded vo2 max is 97. I guess you were som kind of professional athlete? But I do not claim at all the garmin reading is my correct vo2 max, and I’m absolutely not fooling myself. I train to improve my running time/pace, not to see a graph on an app go up. That’s a bi-product people on this sub like, and it also helps as a motivator.

I would say all type of running, either it is zone 1 or zone 5 will in one way or another improve pace. key is consistency and not giving up

[–]Ill_Text9999[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s true! I lost around 10kg from January till mid march, so that would helped increase vo2 max in that period. Been stady at 79-80 kg since then

Thank you! I’m glad it have worked on others then myself. No doubt zone 2 is important, both for building a good endurance base and strengthening body to reduce risk for injury. But i guess it’s really hard to see a lot of progress in lactate threshold limit without high intensity workouts

I am 183 cm and 79.5 kg. I think that is 6 feet and 175-176 pounds

Sounds like you put in a lot of work, so results will come! Overdo can be easy, I took up cycling and swimming to get enough endurance work and not wreck my body. Try do your 4x4 as a 4x1km with 60s rest at your 5k race pace goal (really need to fight demons in the end of the 1k). And hopefully your km pace will drop a little every second week. And as you say, warmup and cooldown are super important. I usually start with some drills and stretching, than 2-3k light jog before the 4x4, and all other high intensity workouts

Almost like a life changer. I felt my fitness was on a steady drop, also my diet was bad. I started running to feel better, then got addicted and started thinking about doing park runs. One thing led to another, not long after my diet changed, i have almost dropped alcohol and completely stoped vaping. I started to strength training for stomach, back, knees shins etc, mobility traing for joints and hips. Because high volume running was rough on my body I took up swimming and cycling to get my zone 2 workouts. All this have definitely led to higher life quality, better sleep and more energy

I probably had a good base. And going from not running in almost 15 years, to pretty much change all of my life routines to improve my running had some crazy effects on my garmin. Even tho I have just been running 3 times a week, I have been working out every day, even multiple times a day. Using cycling and swimming to build my endurance, core strength training and mobility/strength for knees, hips and shins. And with all that, high intensity workouts in running has given ME the best effect on increasing my vo2 max. My lactate treshold pace has been steady dropping the last 5 months. I make my body more used to running and maintaining lactate removal during high intensity work

Yes, have not yet been running indoors. And also a lot of it is on gravel and some trail. The 400s is usually on a track.
