A plain-English walkthrough of the VDOT formula Jack Daniels created to estimate VO₂ max from a single race result, and how it converts into training paces.

See how your VO₂ max compares to other runners your age and gender, using the fitness classification bands used across sports science and exercise physiology.

What Zone 2 training actually is, how to find your Zone 2 heart rate, and why slowing down your easy runs is what raises your VO₂ max over time.
