My trend told me a story I didn’t want to hear. My VO2 max dropped 25% in five years, and my Apple Watch saw it happen month by month.
Back in March 2018, at age 37, my VO2 max peaked at 46.5. At the time I was doing interval training consistently.
Then I stopped interval training and Zone 2 to focus primarily on resistance training. From early 2022 to early 2023, my number dropped almost every single month, all the way down to 34.7 at age 42.
That’s a shrinking engine.
So I brought Zone 2 and Norwegian 4×4 interval training back. Today, at 46, I’m back up to 41.4.
When I did intervals, my VO2 max went up. When I stopped, it went down. It’s that simple.
