I'm working on a VO2 max calculator and have the first version up on my website. It'll take results from the 12-minute run test (Cooper test), 1.5-mile run test, and the Rockport Walk test to estimate your VO2 max and categorize you into percentiles based on age & sex. Feedback appreciated. If you're more tech-savvy than me and want to help improve it, please reach out.

VO₂ max is one of the most powerful predictors of longevity. It outperforms many common health markers—including BMI, blood glucose, and body fat percentage. Studies even suggest that people who smoke but maintain a high VO₂ max may live longer than non-smokers with low VO₂ max. (Of course, the best choice is don’t smoke and improve fitness!)

How and why do I use the sauna as an endurance athlete? There's some compelling evidence that using post-exercise sauna can enhance improvements in aerobic fitness, plasma volume, and exercise performance in the heat and in temperate conditions. I use it 2-3x per week after my run (or strength training session) for 20-30 minutes. The closer to the end of exercise the better. Oh - it also just feels good for the brain and body. I chatted about my protocol with Dr. Rhonda Patrick on her latest episode where we distill training and nutrition advice from previous experts she's hosted on her podcast.
