my wattage porn of choice would be to see what a big fella like Cameron Buchan (six eight, 100kg, close to 7 liters of oxygen/min) could do for 5 minutes. Probably around 600w.

old ASCM formula for estimating VO2 from a wattage at peak aerobic power (do say 6min all out, well paced, and then look at the wattage you held for the 4-5min "flatline" between the spikes at the start and the finish: (watts x .0108) + (Mass in Kg x .007) = liters of O2 per minute.
58, 1m84, 80kg

RHR 40, MHR 160

10k 37:56, 5k 17:52, 2k 6:52 60' 15720m (as a lightweight)
