Where have people gone for Vo2 testing in the Portland area?

I hope this is the appropriate place to ask questions that perhaps others would like to see the answer. Do most runners use carbon plated running shoes for races? I am just learning about them now. Is your time really improved by 10sec/mile!? If so how do you mix the shoe in with training as you likely don't want a new shoe on race day?

Just a reminder about the live call tomorrow! Ashten will be leading this call. Come with any exercise/injury/training questions, or just come to listen in on the conversation. Our goal of these calls is to provide further support in between your sessions as well as opportunities to ask more Qs that come up/learn more about injuries/training so that you can keep yourself healthy all year. For those of you who may not know, while Ashten is very knowledgable in many areas (I'm biased!) she is especially great with strength training, pelvic health, & women's health. But all Q's are on the table! Hope to see you tomorrow - but we will also post the recording afterwards. See the zoom link in the calendar here in the skool app.
