This is definitely NOT true for me. Unless by VO2max you mean some theoretical absolute maximum oxygen consumption that nobody can ever attain but is calculated in a spreadsheet. Anybody else have actual measurements of oxygen consumption compared to heart rate & can confirm refute this? Interested to know if my experience is similar or different from others.
Again, if we’re just talking about some non-practical theory…ha! Then we can bin the discussion. Doesn’t matter.
