First off, nice VO2 max Ryan. Secondly, I don't know how many of you have ever done VO2 max testing before, but the results of the test are largely dependent on a number of key factors which have nothing to do with your current state of fitness. Your VO2 max is a number which although can be altered through training, is pretty much predetermined by your genetic make up. V02 max testing must be done a number of times in the same testing environment in order to even begin to get accurate baseline measurements, which is why pro-athletes test every few weeks. Now back to the factors affecting the test results, what program/machinery is being used to test you, are you using the face mask or the breathing tube with nose blocker, what is the time interval between grades? Lastly, the four most important questions, what grade are you reaching your max at? What is your max heart rate during the test in relation to your VO2 max? What was your AT or anaerobic threshold score? What is your weight at the time of the test, and does it differ from test to test? Reaching your max at a low grade vs. high grade can tell you a lot about your running/anatomic efficiency, your max heart rate also plays a large factor in this, as well as anaerobic threshold and of course weight! |

I only ran the 10k in cross. Actually mark and I both ran the steeple. We ran head to head one time. I beat him at a last chance meet but 3 weeks later he was all-american. Either way I like to remind him the record is 1-0 good guysChampionship racing is all that matters. The middle of the season races are to practice racing. Sometimes you go out hard and sometimes slow, for example, but none of that really matters until the championship races. Does anyone remember the the Boston Celtics pre season record from last year and if you do, does it really matter? |

I thought Ryans V02 max was high or at least I always thought he was pretty fit because I remember that one video where he was running along with the OSU guys along some gravel road and carrying on a fairly casual conversation with Colby Lowe and Prentiss and I was thinking "man, I can't talk at all when I am even doing a steady run... |

Now the obvious next big question comes, and if we guess this right, then we need more than a t shirt, but I think Ryan vs. Mark. in a string of different races to see who is the best, it could be a little series y'all could do, stretched out over a while of course, because we fans want honest efforts, I think this summer, Ryan vs. Mark 5k! |

or Ryan CAN run a 13:30 but feels no need to flaunt his talents. I've met him, he is all about love of the game. I'm sure he has run 13:30 out on the roads by himself :D |
