The running velocity that is reached at [[VO2max|V̇O<sub>2</sub>max]] is called vV̇O<sub>2</sub>max. This velocity is dependent not only on [[VO2max|V̇O<sub>2</sub>max]] but also on [[Running Economy]]. The time that a runner can maintain vV̇O<sub>2</sub>max is called T<sub>max</sub> or T<sub>lim</sub> and varies between 3 and 6.5 minutes in laboratory testing, though in field tests it may be up to 8.7 minutes<ref name="Billat-1996"/>. (Note that when runners are given multiple tests, T<sub>lim</sub> can vary widely<ref name="Billat-1994r"/>.) In elite runners, the higher [[VO2max|V̇O<sub>2</sub>max]], the lower T<sub>lim</sub><ref name="Billat-1994m"/>. vV̇O<sub>2</sub>max is similar to 3K pace in elite middle distance runners<ref name="Billat-1996"/>.
==Simplified Testing for vV̇O<sub>2</sub>max ==
A simplified test for vV̇O<sub>2</sub>max is to [[Warmup]], then measure how far you can run in 6 minutes. The test is normally performed on a track to allow for accurate measurement. I found no studies that evaluated the test, so its reliability is unclear.
==Estimating vV̇O<sub>2</sub>max from race performances==
Just as [[VO2max|V̇O<sub>2</sub>max]] can be estimated from race performances, a similar estimation of vV̇O<sub>2</sub>max is possible. The table below shows the Léger & Mercier formula noted above, along with predicted mile and 3K paces, as well as the predicted pace for a 6 minute run for various values of [[VO2max|V̇O<sub>2</sub>max]]. The predicted times for a 5K and marathon race are included for comparison.
