VO₂ Max Testing for Adventure Racing
Professional VO₂ max testing for adventure racers. Build the multi-day endurance adventure racing demands. Test on multiple modalities for complete assessment.
Adventure racing combines multiple disciplines over extreme distances:
- Trekking/trail running with navigation
- Mountain biking on technical terrain
- Paddling (kayak/canoe)
- Optional: climbing, rappelling, caving
- 24-hour to multi-day duration
- Sleep deprivation and mental challenges
Test on multiple modalities for complete picture:
Treadmill: Running/trekking specific VO₂ max and zones
Wahoo KICKR Bike: Mountain bike power zones and FTP
WaterRower: Paddling-specific upper-body endurance
Understanding fitness across all three disciplines helps identify limiters and optimize training distribution.
Adventure racing is purely aerobic:
- All effort must be sustainable for 12-72+ hours
- Zone 2 is your racing intensity
- Any intensity creep leads to bonk
- VO₂ max testing establishes precise aerobic ceiling
VO₂ max results guide training across all disciplines:
- Long trail runs in Zone 2
- Mountain bike rides at sustainable power
- Paddle training at aerobic intensity
- Back-to-back training days simulating race fatigue
- Proper recovery between training blocks
Superior fitness provides mental clarity:
- Navigate accurately when tired
- Make smart decisions under fatigue
- Maintain safety margins
- Team dynamics stay positive
Sprint (4-12 hours): Higher average intensity, more Zone 3
Expedition (24+ hours): Pure Zone 2, ultra-endurance pacing
VO₂ max data helps team planning:
- Know each member's fitness level
- Set realistic pace for slowest member
- Identify who leads on each discipline
- Plan transitions and rest strategically
