7 TIPS TO BUILD YOUR STAMINA

1. BE CONSISTENT

Increasing your aerobic capacity (the amount of oxygen your muscles can store), improving your endurance, and running longer distances take a high level of consistency. Through continuous training, you will be able to improve your basic endurance and aerobic capacity and strengthen your muscles. If you start running several times a week, you should make sure to keep it short and slow - you won't work on your speed until the next step. You should run about three to four times a week, for 30 minutes or more at a time. One of these runs should be longer than the others that week.

Attention:

If you want to build your stamina, you have to be consistent.

1. RUN LONGER AND FURTHER

To be able to run longer distances, you have to train longer distances! You can add about 5 to 10 minutes or 0.8 to 1.6 km to each of your long-running sessions. That doesn't sound like a lot at first, but it just messes up over time. If you are increasing your training volume because you are preparing for a half marathon or a marathon, your long run of the week should make up 30-50% of this target distance. During this run, make sure to keep your pace slow so that you can really keep it constant. Many people make the mistake of approaching their long-running session at too fast a pace. Ultimately, this leads to their performance dropping towards the end. To run slowly and focus on staying the full distance. Always remember: endurance first, then speed.

Tip:

Run slowly and focus on making the full distance.

1. TEMPO RUNS

These running sessions are usually about shorter distances, but you run them faster than your normal training speed. When you train like this, your body learns to get the unwanted lactic acid out of the bloodstream more quickly. This means you can run longer until you get tired and let the lactic acid slow you down. You will also notice that your usual running speed or planned competition pace has changed feel less strenuous over time. Running sessions like this are crucial if you want to increase your pace. Try to do such tempo runs at a "comfortably hard" speed and hold out for about 20 to 40 minutes; experienced runners also 60 minutes. You shouldn't exhaust yourself completely and end up gasping on the floor. Choose a pace that challenges you and that you can maintain for the entire duration of your run.

1. EAT FOR YOUR ENDURANCE

If you want to train your endurance, you have to eat the right thing. That means carbohydrates first and foremost! As a runner, you should make sure that you cover 55-65% of your daily calorie requirement with the macronutrient.  But make sure you are consuming several carbohydrates that are tailored to your exercise intensity. Before your long run, you must have a carbohydrate-based meal choose - so you can be sure that you will manage the full running distance. If you get tired, your motivation drops, or you can't keep up your planned distance: Try a larger amount of carbohydrates! Always choose complex carbohydrates like whole wheat flour, brown rice, and oatmeal. You should rarely use white flour products and high-sugar foods, which can cause your blood sugar level to rise very quickly (an extremely high blood sugar level is always accompanied by a dramatic drop).

1. PLAN RECOVERY PERIODS

The further you run, the more you demand from your body. If you want to improve your endurance, you need to ensure that your body can recover adequately between workouts. If you feed properly, not stretching, forget, and sleep enough, you can optimally rejuvenate your body. Make sure you have a healthy meal within 30 minutes of your run. In this way, you ensure that your body can properly absorb the nutrients and regenerate itself perfectly. If you pay attention to this, you will feel strong before each run and know that you can finish it too.

1. WORK ON YOUR EFFICIENCY

As you work on your running technique, you will learn to run more efficiently. You won't get tired that quickly because you don't use up your energy that quickly. Good technique involves maintaining a straight posture (imagine being pulled up on a string all the time). In addition, you should always make sure that you place your feet exactly below your center of gravity on the floor.  If you weigh a few pounds too much, losing weight can also increase your efficiency by making you lighter.

1. MENTAL PREPARATION

Do you want to run a distance that is further than anything you've done before? Such a long-distance run can be daunting - but take courage; you can do it! If you also prepare yourself mentally for the longest-running session of the week, everything will work out easier. A long run seems a bit shorter to you if you divide it into 1 km sections. Or you imagine that it is only twice a certain distance that you can easily manage. Also, a possibility: you split test the distance into two parts - a 10-km run, you can do the easy to you in the head lose just 3 km strangest times. That sounds a lot less intimidating than running an eight-mile run.
