Hi All,
Just interested in my max' VO2, anybody know where I can have this done in Scotland - Edinburgh / Glasgow or preferably further north? Haven't "trained" properly in years and just interested to find out my starting levels.

I don't know about the more modern scientific methods, but the old skool 'run a mile and a half as bastard hard as you can' method certainly made sure you only did it if you were really curious.

I managed 74ml/kg/min once, 17 years ago.

cant mind the geezers name was daniel something or other and it was a diabetes study on how the diabetics react to certain compounds of sugars(sports drinks) under resting and working conditions and i was the non diabetic for comparison. Took samples of muscle tissue from my thigh that time though , not so keen for that again ....sare as **** !

Trail_rat, Ninewells eh? I'm originallyfrom Arbroath, but now in Aviemore. Folks still in Arbroath, so I'm sometimes down. Really looking for a good base line set of stats.
