What’s your VO2 Max?

VO₂ Max Standards by Age and Gender 🏃 🏃‍♀️

Every runner has seen the number on their watch. Fewer know what it actually measures.

WHAT IS VO₂ MAX?

VO₂ max is the ceiling on how much oxygen your body can pull in and use when you are working hard. It is written as milliliters per kilogram of body weight per minute, which is why lighter runners tend to score higher at the same fitness.

The chart shows where the general population sits. Find your age and s*x, read across.

Two things it will not tell you. It says nothing about how long you can hold an effort, which is what actually decides a race. And it drops about 10 percent per decade after 30 if you do nothing about it, which is the part worth paying attention to.

The good news is that it responds to training faster than almost any other measure. Consistent weekly mileage moves it. So do intervals, and so does sleeping properly.

Trail runners couldn’t help but notice my Mizuno Neo Accera trail running shoes at the start line over the weekend! Let me say these shoes heavily influenced the outcome of the race with a course PR and an overall W!

Come by the store and try a pair of these sweet kicks on before hitting the trail.

Our best bud Oliver is clearly a natural in front of the camera! 🤩

Our very first batch of kids’ just landed at the shop, and he stopped by to help us show off this awesome new gaming print.

We absolutely love our community of young runners here in Georgetown. It is such a joy watching them grow, smash their goals, and bring so much energy to the sport.

Don’t worry if you don’t see the perfect size just yet—we have another shipment already on the way to fill out the rest of the collection soon.

We love being your local hangout. Stop by anytime to chat, run the track, catch a drink of water, or just say hello!

GRWC 3rd Quarter Leaderboard through 8/18/26

The GRWC Trail runners are cut from a different cloth. While the world builds flatter roads and smoother paths, we seek the uneven, the unpredictable, and the unpaved. The GRWC Racing Team showed up and showed out at Iroquois Park in Louisville this morning with some age class wins and top 10 finishes overall in the 7 mile trail race that was very challenging.
