My lab test results are out

On Monday night (25th February) I put myself through some gruelling exercise tests: Lactate, ventilatory capacity, max power and max heart rate. I was a little surprised that I had no warm up nor a fan to cool me down, but I'm not sure that would've made much difference. In total I tested for 30 minutes. My heart rate averaged 174 and maxed out at 196

The ramp test:

• Time to exhaustion: 10:00
  
• Peak power: 455 watts
• VO2max: 65.8 (ml/kg/min)
• Max heart rate: 196 bpm
• Lactate turn-point: 179 bpm / 350 watts
  

So, as you can see the results aren't great but at least I know where I am and can now start training with more accuracy.

Drop me a line (robenslin[at]gmail.com) if you have any comments or questions.
