Resting pulse (lying down, in the morning) is currently between 39 and 42 beats/min. Weight at the time of test was 78.5kg.
Very interesting article indeed. This is very much the way I considered VO2, too. It's fun to know (and compare with elite's!) + will be interesting to get another test done in a few months and see if I can improve it.
What do you think about the low max HR? They were expecting me to get it up to 190+ but I was broken at 162. I think it's mainly down to being v. tired going into the test (lack of sleep) + I hated wearing the mask... it felt like I couldn't get enough oxygen in through those tubes - lungs were really straining.
