What is the vVO2 max?

This is your velocity at VO2 max: that is, the speed at which you run when you are consuming oxygen at your VO2 max. It is not the same as your maximum speed. You can run using anaerobic metabolism (that means, without using oxygen) for short periods of time; so sprinters run faster than their vVO2. The following equation (estimated by me) is used to estimate vVO2 from VO2 max: vVO2 (metres per second) = 2.8859 + 0.
