VO₂max is not the only measure of performance but it speaks volumes.

Recently, Kristian Blummenfelt shattered the run course record at the Ironman World Championship winning the race with an incredible run time of 2:34 marathon, backed by a reported VO₂max of ~101 ml/kg/min.

This isn’t just a number that looks good on paper it’s a metric that can guide your training, define your performance, and elevate your results.

You can take advantage of this metric only if you have a reliable way to measure it because what you don’t measure, you won’t know if it’s improving.

VO₂max is not the be-all and end-all metric for endurance athletes but it’s a number that speaks volumes.

Today, we tested Matt’s VO₂max, and just like his performance, the results were impressive.

At EnduranceLAB PH, we’re committed to supporting Matt as he continues his journey to the top guided by data, driven by our athlete’s purpose.

Alongside Coach Moi and all the coaches who have shaped his path, Matt remains grateful.

He carries every lesson, every session, and every piece of guidance with him believing that all of it will lead him closer to his goal.

Progress isn’t always loud — sometimes it quietly builds across every effort, every week, every season.

From Q3-Q4 2025 → Q1 2026, this power duration curve tells a powerful story: consistent gains across nearly all durations, backed by disciplined training and smart coaching. 📈

Balancing a demanding role as a Supplier Quality Engineer for Qatar’s largest airlines, family life with his wife and three kids, and the realities of expat living — and still showing up, session after session.

A strong performance at the Qatar T100 Triathlon in December 2025 was just one milestone. The real win? Sustained progress over time.

Consistency > perfection. Every time. 🚴‍♂️

VO₂max has long been considered one of the best predictors of endurance performance.
But recent research suggests it goes beyond sports. Studies now show that VO₂max is also a strong predictor of longevity—how long and how well you may live.

In other words, improving your VO₂max doesn’t just help you perform better… it may also help you live longer. 😱

Arthur, a beginner–intermediate runner, scheduled a session with EL to assess his current fitness level. He mentioned that improving his VO₂max is not only important for performance, but research now suggests it can also be a predictor of longevity.
