The VO2 testing machine was back up so I went in again to get mine measured. No surprises - 4.32 L/min was in line with my expectations of 4.25-4.5. A couple of my heart rate training zones shifted downward 1bpm, but they have remained relatively stable so future VO2 max testing is unlikely to be of much benefit - especially since Garmin is doing a pretty good job estimating my running VO2. In fact I'd probably be much better off investing that $100 towards a power meter for the bike which Garmin could use to estimate cycling VO2. I could also use it for power-based training zones or to optimize aero positions if so inclined. It is pretty amazing how much technology has trickled down - 25 years ago only the top tier pros had access to this sort of data on a regular basis...
Speaking of power, mine has come up nicely. My power at aerobic threshold is where my anaerobic used to be 3 months ago (and my anaerobic/lactate threshold power is now about where my peak power used to be). Still, a FTP of 270 is a bit lower than I'd like to see and I expect my FTP/Lactate Threshold to be well over 300W by the time I do the iron-distance triathlon in October. Combined with some additional weight loss, I'll be shooting for a bit over 6 hours on the 116 mile bike leg.
