BTW anyone who isn't aware of Archive.IS this site is $. Works for a ton of paywalls….

Fartleks are super beneficial. It's basically the different heart rate zone training I mentioned before but without all the precision. Also very similar to High intensity interval Training (HiiT).
When I was my fittest at running I would do those all the time. Still mix into my runs picking up the pace to a landmark and then backing off. But nothing with the breath measurement etc.

XC Mt Biking provide a lot of Fartlek type work.

Dried apricots seem to get me in the fartlek zone pretty easy.

I don't run, hoss. I've gotta measure this off Peleton or C2 . But still chick Huberman is on point with the metric.

I am quite intrigued on the measurement being based on different activities, given the vastly different abilities someone with a great VO2 max can have between between rowing, biking and running. Not to mention swimming, skiing etc. I guess the real way is a test while doing your best activity, and the approximations are off of other people who tested using their VO2 output and exercise performance?
-
I would suspect a rower with a great vo2 max who was a slow runner would still show up great on a treadmill. vo2 max measure how much o2 one can consumer vs speed.
People forget that during the UW Crew Turkey Trot races, I'd finish in the bottom 25% but my C2 scores were always in the top 25% or higher.

That combined metric screams under-performer, champ.
How does skiing at altitude affect a V02 measure?
.

Hardly, bud. The fastest XC runners would get killed on C2 vs a 6'6" high level rowers. It's physics.
I have no idea on skiing. I've heard though erging at 3761 ft (my house) gets you about 3% discount time wise so I got that going for me!!
