It's working!

My VO2Max test today was pretty much as painful as I anticipated, but I hadn't anticipated what the results would show. Not only has my Z4 lowered and broadened ( a good thing), but there an an obvious and significant difference between what my run test four months ago (at the beginning of my Ironman training) said about my fitness levels and what this test showed. Essentially, I'm much fitter than I was.

OK, I can hear the d'ohs from here. Yes, it's pretty logical that four months of six-day a week, twice a day workouts would have an effect, but aside from a few inches and firmer abs, I didn't *really* know, now, did I?

Spent the rest of the day coughing from the effort I put my lungs through, and running from pillar to post at work.
