About Lucía
I run every VO2 max test in the clinic and write the training that follows it. Before Kerno I spent five years in cardiac rehabilitation, which is where you learn what fitness is worth.
Most people train too much in the middle and too little at either end. The test shows where your thresholds are. The plan puts most of the work below the first one and a little of it well above the second.
I am not a doctor. When a test shows something a physician should see, it goes to your physician the same day.
