It's been nearly a year since I started tracking my fitness and biomarkers. I started this journey 5 years ago when I noticed declines in my health that just kept getting worse. Being relatively healthy, I just kept doing what I knew, but it didn't work.... I was constantly fatigued, running low on energy, and seeing fewer returns despite the effort.
Like many, I blamed age. But the truth? I’d been training wrong my entire life.
It wasn’t until I took a VO2 Max test that the penny dropped.
I discovered my aerobic base was shockingly poor, and I was spending most of my time in the wrong training zones, red-lining instead of building.
The game-changer?
Understanding my ventilatory thresholds
Training smarter in Zone 2 at the correct Heart Rate
Building my aerobic base from scratch
Fast forward to today: my energy is back, recovery is better, and every training session is efficient, no guesswork!
If you're serious about optimising your health, longevity, or performance, book a VO2 Max test. It’s the most valuable data point I’ve ever used.
