In addition, research has indicated that VO2max is also an
important measure for health and wellbeing. At optimum running
efficiency, your running performance level corresponds to your real
VO2max (ml/kg/min).

Running efficiency

Running performance level also takes into account running
efficiency, a measurement of your running technique. This
measurement also takes into account external factors such as
terrain, running surface, weather, and running gear.
