Build an aerobic base
Use repeatable conversational-pace sessions most weeks.
Fitness Tools
Use a simple resting and maximum heart-rate estimate to think about aerobic capacity.
Useful when you want a rough aerobic-capacity estimate without lab testing.
Step 1
Train the trend
A simple VO2 max estimate is best used as a repeatable reference, not a lab-grade score.
Use repeatable conversational-pace sessions most weeks.
Short harder intervals can complement easier aerobic work.
Sleep, food, and easier days help training become progress.
Repeat the estimate after a consistent training block.
