A few years before the pollen allergy (or whatever it is) got me, I was a 506W VO2 guy. And that was not my prime day really, and a badly exucuted test (running shoes, toe slips, too short cranks, steady cadance protocol, off-season).
I encountered black snow (from oxygen deprivation) on really easy commutes which must have been around 120-150W at most. And there was no way I could breath harder than I did.
I am a decent track runner now (for a lazy ex cyclist), but recently got dropped by the entire group during the sub-3km warm up run at 11kph or so. Just couldn't do it.
People don't know how it is. And athletes are envious of those with a TUE.
