how to improve your vo2 max
First of all, you need to know what Vo2 max is so you can understand what is happening.
Vo2 MAX or Maximal oxygen uptake, is the measurement of your maximum amount of oxygen(mL/ Kg / min) that you can use during effort usually used to check the endurance level before starting a new training cycle or after you have completed a high load (in volume) of trainings.
Let’s say that you have accumulated 8-12 weeks of volume gradually and calculated (through our training programs this can be much easier) now is the time when metabolic changes occur, after these weeks you must give the body a speed boost, he will be receptive in first phase and little by little it will be guided and resulting in a huge progress, if you applied it correctly, the results can be massive!
Personally, I had the highest value after loading 3 months with only light aerobic trainings, where the heart rate was the master and he decided the pace in terms of speed.
When you train with a heart rate monitor belt, you will notice that depending on the level of fatigue or what have you done last weeks, your heart rate will tell you exactly what to do and how to run.
If the heart rate is high at lower speed then usual, listen to it and slow down, over time the pace will be faster
I know it sounds boring, but these easy trainings with slow speed but long as distance and time, will increase your cardiovascular capacity and implicitly the maximum oxygen uptake by the muscles.
