Most runners focus on improving VO₂ Max—but few consider how biomechanics influence it.
Your aerobic engine matters, but so does how efficiently you use it.
Poor mechanics can increase oxygen cost through excessive braking, vertical movement, and unnecessary muscular effort. Better running economy means you can run faster while using less energy at the same pace.
The takeaway? VO₂ Max sets the ceiling, but biomechanics determine how much of that potential you can access.
Train your engine. Refine your movement.
