    To get a VO2 max for cycling a power meter is required. To get a training status a VO2 max value is required.

    You need a power meter.

    Garmin got the Rally pedals: https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/658593

    There are variants for SPD, LOOK KEO and SPD-SL depending on the type of cleats you use. An also single sided and dual sided. Single only measures one foot and use the same data for the other foot. Dual sided measures each side individually and you can get lots of detailed data from that.

    I'm using the much older Garmin Vector 2 pedals that works great. Bought them used on Ebay many years ago. Power meters are expensive so used ones or an older model could be a good idea. Vector 3 would probably be good if you can find them. I'm looking from time to time to get a used pair of Vector 3 and then convert them to SPD with the Rally conversion kit, but all are still too expensive and not many are out on the market.

    There are also other brands and types of power meters that can be used.
