Ok, looking at the graph on another screen, it looks like you held your peak hr for around 26 mins, I'd give a guess it's near 90 percent of your max hr predicted, given the usual equation. Your VE was 84 lpm, I'd guess that was max, and the VO2/Kg was 36...was that average or the max average? The Kcal was clearly not accurate. Looks like your HR dropped off nicely at the end, the best indicator of condition. The device said 'rowing', were on a machine? Does it have a way of recording watts of work? I'm in east Tucson, just posted an entry on road trip. Cheers, Mike
Just finishing up some plain Greek Yogurt with fresh Pomegranates. New dish.
I put the dope on the watts in the post for you which also has another poor effort below this one. Erg.
Once again, I'm only looking at the h/r on these and watts. My training has been minimal recently so things are somewhat of a mess and I've been laying off of the watts due injury which is starting to feel better! H/r coming down and watts going up - what I'm after. Good news. Almost time to get out the boards!!!
Also, did four hill climb tempos on Jake tonight during LR's practice to please my knees.
Looks like you got to around 230 watts, little below, and stayed there some time. This would be more of a steady-state test, than a max test. Were I to do a max test on you, I'd use a 25 watt ramp, where the increase would be 25 watts/min each minute, with the idea of hitting your max around 15 mins, plus or minus a minute or two. If you ever do this, be sure you are on a accurate device that gives VO2, VE, HR, and VO2/VE, that way you can look at whether you are limited by VE or HR. I'd guess you are neither, you are in that strata of elite athletes that are limited by your genetics. Steady-state tests are useful when done over time, and comparing HR at same watt and time, to see if HR is less, ergo improvement. Max tests are useful in determining potential. Cheers, Mike
Things are coming along...

Stay safe behind the wheel!
