Online VO2 and HR calculators (just for fun)

If you fancy a bit of fun checkout a couple of online calculators courtesy of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology.

VO2 http://www.ntnu.edu/cerg/vo2max

HR http://www.ntnu.edu/cerg/hrmax

I tried them and it got my VO2max a bit low but very kindly told me that my "fitness age" was under 20

HR was absolutely correct, interval and resting HR both spot on.

Told me my HR max was supposed to be 192 (Actually 214) and 61 vo2 max.
What is a good vo2 max?

Hmmm, for me VO2 max was high (came back 58, I think I'm about 50)
HR was a little low, Says my max is 188, I reached 190 on a short sharp hill going balls out yesterday...

I use the brianmac website quite a lot and found his calculator which uses running race times pretty accurate, it had my pbs represent 67ml/kg/min when I had just been tested at 65 the previous year. Not sure he has one for cycling times and guess wind etc would render it a bit meaningless.
