“After Spencer attended REG camp this summer and having his VO2 tested for a bench mark, we purchased CXC Academy training plan in hopes of greater improvements. He just recently had another VO2 max test using the same equipment and parameters.
Here are some great results:
Starting VO2 increased from 6.9 to 10.9
AeT increased from 23.1 to 39.3
AT increased from 46.9 to 48.8
Peak VO2 increased from 53.9 to 60.1
Max heart rate increased from 206 to 209
Spencer was quite excited to see these numbers but knows he still must work hard, he knows the training plan has made a difference”, junior coach from Canada.
