I'm hoping someone can provide a quick answer for me. I have the opportunity to take a VO2max test this weekend both cheaply and half a mile from my house. However, I'm putting in a huge running block right now for a 70k in about a month and my legs are fairly beat up in terms of fatigue from the volume. Will general, overall leg fatigue affect the outcome? Or does the mechanism simply measure the amount of air you are drawing in through the mask irregardless of pace? The test will be a typical treadmill test increasing gradient until I say uncle.
Thanks for the replies and hopefully we can avoid any tangents on the merits of a VO2max test, I understand those and just want to do the test out of interest and only because of the cheap cost and convenience.
