How can I improve my endurance?


I want to improve my endurance in running. I can run a mile at a good pace really easily, but every time I try to push myself, I tire myself out quickly. How can I improve my endurance?



Answers:

Ok people this question is about friends about what you would do or loose for them?

There are many ways to push yourself in running. Speed is one, distance is another. If you try to run multiple miles at your "all out" one-mile race pace, chances are you won't get much farther than one mile. (Or, if you do it means you should be pushing yourself harder in races. Ha ha.) Different physical systems are involved when you go longer.

Endurance is built by mileage. THERE I SAID IT! To improve your endurance you need to increase the distance you run. Like everything in running though you need to be sensitive to your individual limits - don't go pound out 120 miles next week just because you want to build endurance. You need to find the level of running that works for your body and your life. You might be able to handle 120 or you may find your body works best with 80 or 60 or 30 miles a week.

If you are interested in maximizing endurance then increase both your weekly mileage and average daily mileage. Start by checking out the following articles from Running Times' web site:

To improve your endurance you must run like you are, but more. While you are running you have to change paces regularly. Doing this will improve your endurance and train your body to handle any pace for any amount of time.

I hate running. Any advice on how to get me started?

I just got out of the military, and let me tell you, they are not super athletes by any means, but through the right kind of training, they are able to accomplish anything.
Then first thing you've got to do is evaluate your running style, and find your own tempo. What works for someone in a magazine may not work for you. Try setting visual goals (running to the next tree, etc.) or if on a treadmill, until a song/show is over. I've found that when I visualized myself to run past the goal and not just at the goal, I was able to lower my heart rate and control my tempo better. Avoid chemical enhancers of any type just keep it normal, try different terrain (beach, track, mountain trails, etc.) and maybe run with someone else. Good luck and just keep at it.

Here are some helpful tips to improve your endurance:
1. Get or create a schedule which gradually increases distance. Track your runs including distance, weather conditions and how you felt during and after the run.
2. Leave the watch at home. If your goal is endurance you have no need to time yourself.
3. Run at a comfortable pace. Resist the urge to push yourself to run faster until you have run that distant repeatedly.
4. Consider taking walk breaks at timed intervals, such as run 6 minutes then walk 1 minute (if so, ignore #2 as you will need your watch). Your recovery from longer runs will be much quicker.
5. Run with a friend or group which share your goal. Perhaps a group training for an upcoming run (10K, half-marathon, marathon). It keeps you committed and makes the runs more enjoyable.

I have a camelbak and it has a hydration blatter.I have used it and am wondering how to clean it w/o tablets?

just slow down... don't go by the mileage, but by time instead. Take walk breaks every few minutes, and eventually, you'll be running three miles. I'm up to five, and I started in July walking 3 min and running 5 min, alternately. Now I can run for an hour without any walk breaks...

Good luck!

ok this is what you have to do, if your goal is 7 miles a day then you need to for 2 weeks run 3 in morning and 4 at night, for 2 to 3 weeks untill you stop getting as much soreness in your legs, then you need to start running 4 then 5 then 6 then 7 increace one extra mile a day, but the trick is.. first 2 miles pace your self, 3 dont slip to much, 4 slow it to a jog, 5 pick it back up to same time as 3, 6 slow to about 4, and 7run it like it was the first! good luck
