VO₂ Max Challenge: Test Your Engine! 🏃♀️💨💚
Details
This week, we’re taking the biohacking outdoors for a special VO₂ Max Challenge — a field run designed for athletes and longevity seekers alike. No wearables required!
We’ll be doing the Cooper Test — a classic, lab-validated method to estimate your VO₂ Max using just a stopwatch.
We will use this online calculator (https://app.catina.box/vo2max-calculator) to estimate VO₂ Max, check out the details here if you are curious!
🧠 Why It Matters:
VO₂ Max is one of the strongest predictors of all-cause mortality and overall healthspan. Tracking it regularly gives you direct insight into your cardiorespiratory fitness — a cornerstone of long-term vitality.
Whether you’re training for a race, or just want to live longer (and better), this test is a must-have metric in your longevity stack.
Bonus: 1x/week of speed work like this is a proven performance booster for endurance athletes 🚀.
What to Expect:
✅ A short field test to estimate your VO₂ Max (no wearables needed)
✅ Connect with the community, share training tips, and get your baseline
✅ Open to all levels — go at your own pace!
💦 Please bring plenty of water and come ready to sweat a little.
This one’s for the athletes, the health optimizers, and anyone curious about their aerobic capacity. Let’s test, learn, and grow — together.
See you on the track! 💚
