Measure your true VO2 max in 15 minutes or less, raise it with Zone 2 and HIIT workouts, and beat the rest of the world on a verified global leaderboard. iPhone and Apple Watch. NEW: GHOST RACE Race a ghost during your Cooper test, Balke test or 1.5 mile (2.4 km) run. Pick your best run, your 12-week goal, the athlete 10 places above you on the leaderboard, the #1 of your age group, an Olympic record, or any VO2 max you choose. The gap shows live in meters or yards, green when you lead and orange when you chase, with voice cues when you pass or get passed. Follow the race on the Lock Screen, in the Dynamic Island and on your Apple Watch, even without your iPhone. The result saves as a normal test, and you can share a "Me vs ghost" card. MEASURE YOUR VO2 MAX - Beep test 20 m and 15 m (bleep test, PACER test, multistage fitness test, Leger shuttle run) - Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery test, levels 1 and 2 (YYIR1, YYIR2) - Cooper test (12-minute run) - Balke test (15-minute run) - 1.5 mile / 2.4 km run test Results are compared with age and sex norms.

Your Zone 2 and HIIT zones are then built from your own threshold.

Every minute with heart rate earns points, harder zones earn more, and 80/20 training, following your plan and retesting give boosts. Climb 7 ranks, from Reserve Duty to Norwegian Cyborg.
