How do I improve my VO2 max?

Hi all,

I’ve been active, going to the gym for months and I’ve been running on treadmills for a while now.

I recently started running outside (I can run 5K in around 30 minutes) and ever since I started running outside, my VO2 max score has been dropping.

I’ve been doing tempo runs, recovery runs in zone 2 (all guided runs by the Nike Run Club app) I’ve also taken days off for recovery and it’d only gotten worse. Any advice?
