EVERYTHING ABOUT V02 MAX TESTING! | Luis Orta | Administered by Olympic Steeplechaser Val Constien

In this episode, Luis visits the Stryd Headquarters in Boulder, CO where Olympian Val Constien performs a VO2 Max test on Luis. He last did this test 3 years ago where he got a 79, which is incredible. How has his score changed over the past 3 years of training? Can he hit 80 or higher?

Valerie Constien is an American athlete who specializes in the 3000m steeplechase.

Constien finished third on 24 June 2021 in the 3000m steeplechase at the Olympic Trials in Eugene, Oregon behind Emma Coburn and Courtney Frerichs to secure her place at the delayed 2020 Summer Games. The race went to form as Constien was the United States’ third-fastest steeplechaser heading into the Olympic Trials with a personal best of 9:25. She also set a new personal best of 9:18.34 in the race.

She now works for Stryd, a running power technology company helping athletes train in a focused way for optimization.

Val answers all of your questions from our last VO2 Max episode and much much more! We discuss how the VO2 Max test works, their protocol for collecting accurate data, how to use VO2 data for optimal training, the accuracy of VO2 data shown on running watches, HR training, and how you can improve your VO2 Max. We heard from her that Eliud Kipchoge's VO2 Max is around 80, can Luis top it?
