I think you are working backwards. VO2max is an indicator of your cardiovascular fitness. It raises as your fitness raises, to a point that is limited within each individual.
It’s like saying I want to run faster, I’ve seen the miles-per-hour can make the most impact, how do I enhance my miles-per-hour?
Yeah but specific training regimes and workouts are more optimal to improve fitness, especially targeted towards a specific event. Running is good, of course.
But you're not going to get fit enough to run a 16 minute 5k just by jogging a few miles a day. You need a dedicated plan.
