Runners World has a great interview with mountain running legend Matt Carpenter check it out.
Interesting quote:
Your VO2 max was once recorded at 90.2 (milliliters of oxygen burned per kilogram of body weight per minute), which is much higher than Lance Armstrong’s 85. As a runner, what does that mean?
MC: I actually tested higher at sea level, but they claim their machine was broken so I just go with the 90.2. But it means I have a good capacity to utilize oxygen, but when I did that test I had a very poor economy. I had a Porsche engine, but I had the poor gas mileage to go with it and a slope problem.
