Think of them as your business metrics: VO2 max is your funding cap, lactate threshold your cash burn rate, and running economy your operational efficiency. They limit you by setting a ceiling on speed and distance before fatigue bankrupts you. In my own bootstrapped SaaS journey, I learned raw capacity—like a high VO2 max—matters less than sustainably managing your thresholds and improving process efficiency mile after mile.
