Athletes with poor running economy will run slower than a lab VO2 max test might imply and runners with
superb running economy will run faster than their VO2 max test would imply. Frank Shorter is a great example of an
athlete with a non Olympian VO2 max but great economy and lactate threshold. I hope that you agree
with this. If not, you have much to learn and should probably not be charging a fee to coach.
