I'm guessing you can tell by how hard they're breathing during a workout. If they are breathing loud and taking deep breaths, it's safe to assume that they have a low Vo2max. Right?

No. Just look at their physique. Muscular build on an endurance athlete = higher oxygen uptake. Wiry build = lower.
But don't worry, a higher VO2 max isn't required for running despite what you have been told.
