Need to work on long endurance so I was on the stair stepper yesterday! I have a 800m swim race in a few weeks so need to get at it!

Are swimmers concerned about vo2 max?

Yes, we are. Ideally, we should have a higher vo2 max because turning to breathe often slows us down.

How do you improve it? Do you run or cycle just for improving vo2 max?

I only go on the stair stepper and HITT. What do you suggest?

If stair stepper brings you to zone 2 and HIIT is somewhat structured - e.g. Norwegian 4x4, Tabata style intervals - than it looks like you are doing the right thing already. I was more surprised there is no specific swimming workout for improving vo2 max (I know almost nothing about swimming)

I don’t think that there are swimming workouts for improving vo2 max because the water naturally cools down and it’s hard to get to Zone 2? Not sure as I am not well educated on vo2 max.
