Screenshot from YouTube of Kristian and Gustav doing some testing with TrainerRoad. Serious numbers. ![]()
Wasn’t this on a treadmill?
Hard to tell. I saw the TR app a few times. The editing in that screengrab makes it difficult to know for certain.
Yes. There’s another clip where he’s running. Coach says we can’t show numbers. Then they cut to TrainerRoad screen. So a little confusing as to whether that specific clip was running or cycling.
On another note, what workout is that?
I guess I was hypoxic at the time.
There were other clips in the series showing them on bikes with TR in the background. Someone above showed screenshots. So I guess for both!
Isn’t the highest ever recorded vo2 max something like 95/97? Seems doubtful to me that he would have a recording of 104.
fwiw Olav said the heart shrinks and vo2 max goes down with long course training…In the Rich Roll podcast I think.
Doesn’t make sense to me tbh
There was recently an article in Norwegian media about him where they discussed his VO2max. According to that one he measured 7.7 l/min which Bu equated to 103 ml/min/kg at race weight, but it was 96 at current weight. Blummenfelt himself speculated that his VO2max might decrease with a decrease in weight keeping him arround 96.
96 ml/min/kg.
No worries. The article claimed he was 2 kg from race weight, so you should have enough to calculate it.
