Abstract
This study predicts vVO2max from CS, determined from 1 (1.61km) and 2 (3.22km) citizen races in well-trained runners. A heterogeneous group of well-trained runners (N = 22) performed 1- and 2-mile races and were studied during submaximal and maximal treadmill running to measure oxygen uptake, allowing computation of vVO2max. This vVO2max was compared with CS. vVO2max (4.82 [0.53]m·s-1) was strongly correlated with CS (4.37 [0.49]m·s-1; r = .84, standard error of estimate [SEE] = 0.132m·s-1), 1-mile speed (5.09 [0.51]m·s-1; r = .84, SEE = 0.130m·s-1), and 2-mile speed (4.68 [0.49]m·s-1; r = .86, SEE = 0.120m·s-1). CS, calculated from 2 citizen races (or even training time trials), can be used to make reasonable estimates of vVO2max, which can be used in the design of running training programs.
