Question

what is the the best way to build up your endurance for running?

Answer 1

Hi Lightbulb without a cause,

NASA used to keep the astronauts in top shape with a treadmill but they now use the most advanced method for keeping in top physical shape for performance and endurance, and that is known as Gravitational Force Overloading and is achieved by workout on a rebounder.

If you would like some info on the rebounder, here is the web address for the type I workout on. It is called an Urban Rebounder and the address is:

http://www.urbanrebounding.com/nasa.php

Go to the left side and click on home, for information. The guy in the picture, is J.B. Berns, an ex Navy Seal, and he is the owner of Urban rebounding and he knows this stuff.

Another important consideration for being at top efficiency, is proper breathing. Little babies are born knowing how to breath. Their little tummies move up and down and their chest hardly moves. This is called abdominal breathing, and the abdominal muscles pull air into the lungs and fills them completely.

Practice abdominal breathing while running and you will get max oxygen into your system for ultra high performance.

Thank you for best answer. You sound like a dynamite girl.

If I do not get to speak with you before then, have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year,

The best way to build endurance is set a goal and go for it. If your looking to run a marathon I would suggest you get a subscription to Runner's World or Runner's magazine. They have some great program for the beginning runner to help get the mileage up. Each year they also will put out a training manual for marathoners on how to get started and keep it up until you run your marathon.

For me it was continual running. I started with a mile and worked up to days when I could go twenty miles, without a problem for a practice.

If you are looking for a successful track season NOW is the time to get going. Keep a log and watch as you miles grow. Every day try a little more and then the next day try to top that. When you get to about five miles a day then start to do some stagger days where one day you'll run three and the next day seven.

Toss in some other sports for cross training. Sports like swimming, biking, rowing, and soccer are good for off days just to get some exercise.

I wish you the best of luck you have met challenge number one which is asking the big question How do I build my endurance.

Answer 3

Honestly the best thing to do is run, but there are drills you can do or you can build a pyramid

I take it you are a long distance runner, for example if your goals was to be able to run 12 miles then you should start with a palate (a certain distance you will definantly run everyday -like 3 miles) then add a mile each week. Don't go over what your goal is for that week, if week 3 you are to run 5 miles then only run 5 miles. This way you don't get bored with the routine

Also if you want to run 6 miles a day, for example, run it in a pyramid. Run 3 miles, walk 1600, run 2 miles, walk 800, run a mile, walk 400. The next week do 8 miles or so on..until you reach your goal.

Also with endurance goes strength try running a couple of miles in the pool, I gurantee when you get back on the track or treadmill you miles won't seem as hard because you would've built strength in your legs to carry you the distance.

Distract yourself when you are running, sing, use your ipod, there are even some treadmills with television in them, or you can just cover up the screen with your towel

But build up your strength and your legs will carry you when you are feeling week. Squats, launches, leg press, etc.

Remember if you feel like you can't go anymore...run one more mile

hope this helps

The best way to build endurance to the run long distances and a slow/moderate pace (conversation pace). This is the at building block for enduance (slow-twitch) muscles and builds economy. Your long run should consist of a 90 - 120 minute run once a week with the forth week being a rest week (1/2 the mileage). You don't want to jump into a long run, you'll want to build on it and never increase your running volume by more than 10% a week. This allows your body to adapt to the longer runs.
My suggestion would be to run three days a week and have a rest day in between. Do one day of tempo (medium pace) running, one day of intervals (speed work), and save your long run for the weekend.

Answer 5

There is a drill you can do that seems to help, you sprint 50 meters, jog 100, sprint 50 and so on. If you do this for a couple of miles, it can help with your speed and endurance. You should also go for at least one long run a week.

Answer 6

Push yourself beyond what you think you can do. As you run, when you think that you just have to stop, tell yourself- "just ten more seconds" and then some more. You'll be surprised at how much you can do by going beyond you're limits.
You also could probably do CIRCUIT TRAINING. We all know how much fun that is!

Answer 7

just keep running like me after school i practice with my team mon-fri for 2 hours then if your serious run on sat for like 4 hour gata find a route that you can run and challaging with slopes hills rough grass stuff like that
