How Long Should I Work on Improving My V2 Max?

Question

After commencing work on my V2 Max, how long should my attention be on it?

Answer 1

Your V2 Max can always be improved but it requires a lifetime of effort. This is not something that can be done for a while and then no more; this is a consistent application of all the knowledge that has been acquired in order to improve one’s fitness levels and maintain them. The aim is to optimize the fitness level such that age is not a limiting factor and the individual must continue to make the efforts on priority each day.

I’m 70 years old and I’m extremely skeptical that my VO2 max can possibly be higher in 10 years than it is today. However, I’m doing my best to keep improving and will keep working on my fitness as long as I can, but at my age the best goal is to degrade as slowly as possible.
