So I think that it's fairly safe to say that I'm happy with my 60+ VO2. Surprised actually since I've been doing diddly squat training wise since April. I was surprised how different it was doing a max test on the bike compared to the treadmill; I did at least one, maybe two treadmill based VO2 tests last year and it seemed to be my lungs that can't keep up with the pace that my legs need to go; conversely, on the bike I felt that my lungs had more in them but there was just nothing in the legs - they just couldn't keep up the cadence!

Weight wise - 62.2 is about what I'd expected - I think I've been heavier but not by much maybe a kilo or so. I'll be interested to see if it goes down with extra training, or stays the same / goes up with increased muscle mass...I've just started geeking it up with some literature and thinking about how I'm going to structure my training, It's a little daunting though, most training programmes work on an annual cycle which puts me about 6 months behind schedule before I've even started!
