I'm slower than a herd of turtles stampeding through peanut butter, but I run.

I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
Poor baby

I write. I read. I run. One time, I ran a lot on my 50th birthday.

So, what improves your VO2? Time training? Increased base miles? Faster runs?
Your VO2max is pretty well set for life, although with years of consistent training you may be able to increase it a bit.

Which is to say, you really DON'T get to improve your VO2max. And your VO2 is neither improved nor worsened; rather it is just an objective measure of oxygen flow during an activity. If you want a higher number, run faster.
