Answer:Although VO2 max is a good marker of fitness, it does present some downfalls. You can't really get an accurate measure .

Explanation:So, one way to determine your max VO2 pace is to warm up, then run for 8 minutes at the maximum intensity level you can sustain for 8 minutes. If, for simplicity's sake, you ran one mile, then your VO2 max training pace is 8 minutes/mile.
