Matt Carpenter is a legend. I believe he scored the highest VO2 Max ever tested at the USOC Colorado Springs lab, somewhere in the 90s. He was basically unbeatable in the Pikes Peak Hill Climb. I wonder where he is now? 😊

OK, but the previous record was only by foot, without a bike, so, It's not exactly a record-breaker, and it wouldn't be right to compare them.

Been following both Justin, and Jim Baird for 6 or 7 years now. Never disappointing, and I get to experience and see country that I would never have been able to, but for them. I lived in a tepee in Northern Alberta back in the 1970's, in the winter, and it was absolutely horrible, so I can relate to what these guys are doing.

Don’t waste your time, he run far ever since he could run, he does ultra distance at 12yo, same way with khabib nurmagomedov with 29W-0L in ufc, been wrestling ever since he could crawl. what makes elite athlete is not “what” training, its “when” they start + the “what”.

@kimaboe14 күн бұрын
This "semi elite" guy was the short trail runner of the year a decade ago, dude is very fast. The africans started running shorter distances years ago, they'll make their way to ultras eventually, but so far they all struggle when the courses get technical. Look at Zegama this year, the Kenyans were in the running until they hit the exposed section and then never heard from again.

This guy is fantastic, he is an absolute beast. But to put this in perspective: An average man in his late 30s has a VO2max of around 35. Killian - due to mostly genetics and lot(!) of training - has a VO2max of almost 100. This means he can transport and utilize almost 3 times what a normal guy can. In other words: for every "normal" guy this would be three times as hard and with this most likely impossible. Insane what this guy is able to achieve...
@sebulban5 күн бұрын
Where did you get his VO2max? The highest I’ve heard is in the 96 or so on a Norwegian cross country skier
@HaraldHofer5 күн бұрын
@sebulban Kristian Blummenfelt seems to have 103. In regards to Killian Jornet I found online 96, that's why I wrote “almost 100“.
@sebulban5 күн бұрын
@ I thought he had 96. I googled a little bit and it seems that current record holder is Oskar Svedson with 97.5. Blummenfelt’s coach said that he was a little over weight in the test and the real value was supposed to be close to 103. Anyhow, these are crazy numbers to achieve.
@HaraldHofer5 күн бұрын
@sebulban yes, +/- a view points doesn't matter too much. These are incredible numbers and for the most part genetically predetermined. I pushed mine by around 15 points, but I guess that's it. Nevertheless I can get better at what I do: technique, confidence, knowledge, etc. are equally important. But I will never be able to compete on a high level in running or cycling. I was lucky enough to find fencing and later kendo for me. In both sports I was able to qualify for many European and World Championships. The trick is to find a sport where you can be good in. I for example am rather fast and I have a good eye-hand-coordination. 😉
@sebulban5 күн бұрын
@ genetics play a huge role on these numbers but also the amount of work they have done. Up to a point, it is not that difficult to increase your vo2max substantially. It will take a lot of guts to do it though. For a normal (not well trained professional) it can build quite fast but for most people it is mentally too hard. My highest was 78 about 20 years ago. On 2025 my goal is to get back to around 65 or more.

They had rest days, maybe some support, but the roads were mostly gravel in 1900 in France!

Good luck finding a battery that would power an e-bike for 300 km a day let alone finding a charging point every night. This ride was most probably logged on Strava which makes it difficult to cheat. I can understand that it might seem suspicious to non-ultra-endurance athletes but some people are just built and wired differently.

Western States is not harder than Hardrock. He has won there multiple times in recent years. Yes, Western states has much less elevation than Hard Rock or UTMB, it may be better for more traditional runners, but he has won there already once and has gotten better with the years, look at his best time at UTMB (2023 with Covid).
