A bit delayed but good news! Kyle underwent a vo2 max and lactate clearance test at UQ a couple of weeks back to see if his ambitions were backed by potential. And the good news is a resounding yes! Congrats to Kyle. For those that like data, he rated 57 as his vo2 max. Elite adult vo2 is classed at starting at 60. Bearing in mind that he is only 17 and has some more growing to do the tester saw no reason that he couldn’t raise his level by 10%+ with maturity and correct training.
So now, if anyone can help out with an indoor trainer, power meter and heart rate monitor to fine tune the ongoing training that would be great
Will try to keep you updated with progress
