The VO2 Max Graph in 'Outlive'

I haven’t been able to unsee this since coming across it in an Andrew Chen newsletter and since then having gone a bit deeper into the topic, would love to discuss with people who find this relatable/fascinating. Here are couple of things on my mind:

  1. Would this data be different for Indian population (let’s say only urban)? My instinct tells me we’d probably be 10-15% less fitter than the average Western audience.

  2. For those of you who have seen it, have you affected any changes in your training/fitness regimes?

(Hope this isn’t something that already has another thread. If yes, will delete this).
