VO2max can be improved by up to 100% (e.g from 40 to 80ml/kg/min for men). And it seems to be (highly) trainable.
Don't be so ridiculous. Mark Burnley makes no such claim in that video.
I did not said he mentioned that. Maybe read better next time. :)
Your claim is ridiculous. The video however was excellent. Apart from the end where he suggested that Gebresellasie had a probable 80 VO2max. Haile unlikely.
The man in the photo at the start, Chris Boardman did have a VO2max of 80ml/kg/min and that helped him become a World Champion cyclist. But he was born with that genetic trait. He trained his endurance to elite level.
I listened to it. Agreed with most all they had to say. If someone has got a better free podcast out there that imparts such varied applicable content than Science of Running, please share.
I haven't read "Science of running" so I can't comment. I have noticed however that Magness now sees himself as a psycology guru.

Coaches that hook up with athletes always see themselves as psychology gurus.

His psychology related content is just as solid as his training related imo.
Do they still coach pros? It’s been quite a while since I recognized anyone under their watch.
I don’t know about Magness but Jon Marcus no longer coaches.
It was a fine show for the first few years until they ran out of subjects to talk about. They now tend to overcomplicate simple training methodologies and concepts. It’s not like they’ve contributed to the physiology field either like Daniels and Vigil.
Its hard to be receptive to their ideas when they are getting towards the peak age of their careers and they aren’t actually coaching.

Their recent breakdown of Norwegian LT training was solid.
I think (based on what I've read) that the assumption that maximum stroke volume is achieved at maximum heart rate is not necessarily correct. The research on that is extremely conflicting. What is certain though, is that we don't NEED vVO2Max work to achieve those adaptations.
Magness is obviously very passionate about running and seems like a generally decent guy. I just feel that he used to read so much into every detail of every type of training that he could find on the Internet to the point that he sort of just lost the wood for the trees and was ocasionally mislead.
A few years back he was discussing training ideas written by Antonio Cabral without ever really checking up on who Antonio really was - a serial epic BSer who was notorious throughout the Portuguese running community for his lies and worse than useless coaching:
Part 2: Should we move our athletes up? Renato Canova has pointed out that there are basically three kinds of runners for each event. You have the specialist who responds to specific training for t…
Trying to follow someone like Antonio's training will inevitably lead a runner to fall very far short of anything close to their potential. There are probably other examples of where Magness has been mislead in the past but maybe with more experience and maturity he is now much more astute in analyzing the training of other coaches.

Yes, that would be impossible. At high intensities and in different weather conditions, plasma is moved in or out of the bloodstream as an immediate adaption during the effort and a gradual adaption over hours and days. So stroke volume and heart rate are variables, not fixed values.
