Here is a link to VO2 Max test through the Nike Plus site. I'm not sure how accurate it is, but its pretty simple and doesn't necessarily need the iPod to complete.

Just run as far as you can for 12 minutes and look at the tables.

Were you at Indurain type levels?

I did pretty well on that one. 60.3.

Now that we know your age, what was your score?

Thank you folks. I'll be here all night. Remember to tip your waitress.

You mistook me for 71. I was surprised because it seems those numbers don't make sense. I know lots of people in my range, and all of us are superior? I was superior for all ages. It seems they set the bar reasonably low.

I just looked it up. 94!!! That is almost double what these charts are showing for a superior athlete ages 30-39.

Here is a cycling VO2 Max field test that I posted a couple of years ago, for those more interested in that one.
