Default Re: Terrible VO2Max, any suggestions?

Yesterday ran continuously 30mins at 8kph, thats only the 5th run so that may help motivate someone else in similar state of unfitness (motivated me).

It now feels more like a warm-up run than the wrong end of a sprint.

Just need to go faster now so I don't have to know I'm going 33% slower than the guy next to me who is running for longer!

If i'm interpreting the science correctly, I think V02max and lactate threshold are noticably improving - since 160bpm now feels sustainable (LT2 upwards) AND 160bpm created enough power to go 8kph sustainably (VO2 upwards).
