Interesting/useful fact - Interval training, i.e. HIIT training (high intensity interval training) can REALLY increase your aerobic capacity VERY quickly, just with a tiny bit of work.
For me, what worked is just 2 or 3 sessions of week, 20 minutes on the treadmill (or of course you can do it on trails), running 2 minutes, walking 2 minutes. I'm upping the pace of my running. It's more effective than much longer, but less intense session.

Yes indeed! I've been implementing the Norwegian 4x4 protocol for increasing VO2 max and it's only week 4 or so but it has been doing wonders on my athletic performance for football (soccer). It's hell when doing them but I have more capacity to maintain peak performance during game time which for me is the whole point of doing any sort of training, is for it to reflect positively on the pitch.
