Your VO2 max can easily be trained. Untrained people will discover 30% VO2 max increments within the first couple of months. Your maximum heart rate can’t be trained.

I thought V02 Max was not trainable. You're born with what you're born with. My understanding is that you lactate threshold (the percentage of your V02 Max you can sustain) is very trainable.

Very insightful. A couple of weeks ago, I was asked to participate in a Vo2 max and Lactate Threshold test by a small group of undergraduate student researchers at San Diego State University (SDSU). It sounded like a great opportunity for me further my investigation, and because it was free, I couldn’t say no... Here's what I learned.. http://richardlachina.us/2012/01/04/understanding-vo2-max/ Richard La China (lachina) Thanks for the article Jesper! Very insightful.
