VO2max calculator (Cooper test)

Run as far as you can in 12 minutes, enter the meters covered and estimate your VO2max.

What it's for

VO2max measures aerobic capacity: the higher it is, the better your endurance. The Cooper test estimates it from the distance run in 12 minutes.

How to do it

On a track or flat route, after a good warm-up, run at the highest sustainable pace for 12 minutes and measure the meters.
