Thanks to Chris Tee on inviting me over to ISN for the Testing and soon to be the Lab Rat on piloting his upcoming project!
And today, I had the opportunity to do a SubVO2 and VO2Max test here in Institut Sukan Negara Malaysia
After the Sub Max test, based on my lactate profile, we found out 17 kph is the threshold pace for me. Therefore I started of VO2Max test at 14 kph. After every 30 seconds, the treadmill speed will increase by 0.5 kph respectively until it reaches my threshold pace, which is 17 kph then for the subsequent 30 seconds, the treadmill will go up by 0.5 gradient.
I manage to hold until 6% and then the mask accidentally came out, I think it might be caused by my arm movement. I personally think that I can still hold for at least a minute or two, but at that stage, my heart rate reaches 184 already. Too bad that the VO2 graph haven't reach plateau and my RER value is still good at 1.04.
I stopped at 6.0% at 10:37 minutes with a Maximum Heart Rate of 184 bpm and a 74.3 ml/lg/min, which I reach my expectation value before I did the testing.
I am glad that with more sessions in the stairs, and a huge significant drop in my running mileage compared to those days when I was just a pure runner, I am still able to maintain my VO2Max value at around +-75 ml/kg/min.
It is an advantage to have such a high VO2Max value, but running economy, maximum speed still play a major components in term of running performance.
One can have a VO2Max value of 65 and can beat a VO2Max value of 75 in a 10km run if the runner A (65 ml/kg/min) is more efficient than the runner B in away that both A and B running at the same pace. Runner A may run a 3:30 min/km at 50 ml/kg/min but Runner B may running at 70 ml/kg/min.
Long story short, Runner A is efficient and have a much better running economy then Runner B and with that, Runner A can run longer at a lower RPE, while Runner B couldn't sustain for a long period of time at the pace given.
*If anyone interested on doing a VO2Max Test, you may contact ISN (Institusi Sukan Negara). Head over to their website as the info are all there or click on the link in my bio (https://ppsn.isn.gov.my/services-facilities/)
