Jon - that's really great. My VO2 has declined precipitously over the past 2 years. It's expected to decline slightly every year - but I've lost about 30% - still good - but not like it was.

You should just buy an Apple Watch. That way you can keep testing it whenever you want for less than the price of a single professional test. It’s not as accurate as a lab setup obviously but what matters is tracking your progress. It records an estimate every time you do a decent outdoor walk or (so I hear) a run. It doesn’t do an estimate for stationary exercise.

Gemeni amd Grok both told me that post lung transplant VO2 max is typically in the 40-60% of age adjusted expected value range, and that’s without the anemia. I’m now >100%.

That's really great! I assume that's mainly from cycling?

It’s hard to say. I haven’t been doing much cycling in the past 6 weeks but it’s gone up in that time. I bought an indoor trainer for my basement but haven’t used it much due to the awkward placement. I just got rid of that large extraneous bed in my basement which will allow me to put it in a good place and use it more.
What’s new for me in the last six weeks or so is daily treadmill time.
