When I was 17 I had built up my foundation. So i began running around my park for 2 laps (each lap is 1.1 miles) so 2.2 miles per run, at a fast maintainable speed. Take a break for 10 minutes then go again for two laps again at an intense rate that is sustainable (sustainable is important. So I treat it like I'm doing sets. This drastically improved my stamina . I didnt rely on going all out in one bout, but rather gave myself a bit of recovery time, and went again. I was usually tired at the end of each two mile bout

But regardless it will still improve your stamina By the way you don't actually need to always run intensely, you can go standard effort for longer periods..still works out, just mix it up isn't it...intense.. then not so intense. And don't run everyday either it will probably cause injury, at least If you attempt to do it as a beginner. Or if you haven't ran in a Long time etc etc. There are many variables

[@thibod07]

Very nice video! The tempo runs are fundamental to any running programs for any distance. It is impossible to enjoy running slowly if you never run fast. Running all the time at the same speed is not much fun after a while. Yes running volume in zone 1 is important but it is the start and not the end. Completing a marathon is surely a nice achievement but completing a fast marathon is heaven as you had to work so hard to make it possible. In any case these are all personal choices and there is no wrong doing and that is the beauty of running. Not getting injured while running is something that we all agree on as not being able to run because of an injuries is no fun. I keep rediscovering the basic of running and this is so much fun to see where that new path will bring me. Have a nice day! 👍👍👍

Most of the elite runners say to make your hard days hard and your easy days easy. Seems to work for them.

[@stephenpatterson2204]

Most elite athletes train 80% easy, so train yourself to run slower, the pace of your easy run should be slow enough that you could talk comfortably. The Mafetone method says keep to your heart rate at a max of 180-your age...it can take a while to get used to running this slow as it does feel counter intuitive, but it helps build your foundations, lessen risk of injury, and because it doesn't over tax your system you can train more in the long run.

[@alamedadanceparty]

@@stephenpatterson2204 Thank you, Stephen. I will try to keep this advice in mind. I feel like I run very slow, but maybe I need to do a fast walk for a long time, and then gradually work up. I might have just tried to do too much too fast (which also resulted in some injuries). Building a strong foundation is always a good thing! Thanks again!!

[@abigrunner209]

The idea if running at a conversational pace is that it fits EVERYONE’S ability perfectly. When first finding this we may enlist a friend to ride a bike along side us. Then with a smart watch we can dial in that pace. 80% of our weekly training will be at this pace. Then on other days we will do harder, faster things to fill in the remaining weekly miles. For someone running 20 miles a week this is 14 miles on 4 days (2, 4, 2 & 6 miles a day) and just 2 miles of very intense work for the other days. We borrowed 2 miles from the slow days so we could jog a little bit between the hard days intervals. Rest on the Lord’s day and He will reward you openly.

I've never been a gifted runner by any stretch of the imagination. When I was younger I could run about a 6 to 7 minute mile. Now I am averaging about 9 to 10 minutes. Occasionally I may get down to an 8:30 during the course of my 8 to 12 mile daily runs. I just really feel like I am stuck in 1st gear. I can't power up hills. My right hamstring acts up. I took 9 weeks off last fall-the longest time I have ever taken off from running and still did speed walking during that 9 weeks usually 6 miles a day. I finally got back to running in December.

Paddles are 8&1/2" wide weighing 7 to 10 ounces----no joint damage there. Races all over Mich.,Minnesota, Wisconsin, Quebec, all Canada. Races are from one hour to as long as 15/16 hours. Al Widing has the best "VO" uptake of any human on the planet!

Eluid Kipchoge said there is nothing better than putting in high mileage to improve your speed for distance running! This is not at a fast pace but at a comfortable conversation capable pace! I think if anyone knows, he would as one of the greatest marathoners of all time!

Great video, the t’shirt is just wrong though 🤣

[@thatonetexan2103]

I’ve been increasing my mileage lately. Some runs are great and others (like my last one) felt terrible. I am just now feeling normal after a disc injury. Idk if that matters. Anyway, some runs I feel great and my stride is on point. Other times my stride is short and my legs just feel wrecked after about 30min. A few bad runs have had a similar trait. I hit the 30-40min mark and my heart rate just gets high and stays there but at the same effort. I do lift and cycling on my non running days so there may be some soreness issues. Any kind of advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Doea walking have any effects on stamina? If i walk a lot will my stamina increase or does it have to be running, i am at a weight were running is not hard for me (65kg) but my right calf hurts when i run and it has been for the past 3 weeks but the pain is decreasing. I have been running at a slower than average pace but it starts to hurt still after a bit of exercise, so i am now opting to walk instead until i am fully recovered, so i want to know if it will help me build or at least maintain my stamina.

[@wan2play327]

One question if i doing my regular heavy kinda exercise is it okay if i skip my running session bcoz I don't want to go overwork after i read some article says it's bad to put more than your body can't

[@richardmiddleton7770]

The beauty of easy runs is they can be done fasted and fasted running is crucial for running long distances! You could easily work upto running marathon distance fasted. It will also help you drop some fat and being lighter obviously helps you run more easily and reduce injury risk.

[@Laseroscar666]

My guess on what you’re going to say, before watching: -Do a long run every week -Do some strength sessions -Take your pace down -Keep gradually increasing total volume

[@JasonFitzgerald]

Great ideas! Though #2 and #3 won't improve endurance...

I really thought that the title was telling me to run longer to gain more endurance.

[@mrbarthol]

For an 800m runner, how crucial is running high mileage? What’s the recommended mileage run per day and/or week an 800m runner should run to build endurance and increase aerobic capacity?

[@edmiguel455]

I was reading Jack Daniel's Running Formula and noticed that the 800m runner needs a high weekly mileage. Weekly runs vary from 20 mpw to 60 mpw (depending on your goal) for this distance. A long run consists of 60 mins to 12 miles (again depending on your goal and the amount of weekly mileage you are putting in). Hope that helped.

[@mrbarthol]

@@edmiguel455 if the goal is to run 1:45, what’s the recommend weekly mileage?

[@AveryR-XC]

@@mrbarthol Anywhere from 50-80. It depends what your raw speed is in like sprint races and how it compares to your race times for longer distances. And the mileage that you currently run weekly.

[@mrbarthol]

@@AveryR-XC raw speed...400m is 48.

[@AveryR-XC]

@@mrbarthol 48 is good and that's better than I'll ever run, but it's not quite the speed needed unless you've got a god tier aerobic system. 65+ miles a week would be good with emphasis on strides, hill sprints, and lifting, and of course easy runs. For the love of all things holy, do your strides, run all out 150's to develop speed, and run 300m repeats for the perfect mix of speed and endurance.

Your body doesn't produce lactate first. Lactate is immediately synthesised based on the release of lactic acid. Lactate is what builds up and is (hopefully) broken down by the glycolytic/anaerobic lactate energy system, promoting endurance.

[@elchichosantana6410]

Due to Covid 19 Pandemic I limited my Long Run to 12kms.

[@latifquest5363]

Well that was pretty good

[@chrisjowaisas95]

Does power walking in zone 1 increase endurance? I've been experimenting with this lately, and enjoying it.

[@danielfisher6501]

I'm not sure. But it is a really good active recovery. To do inbetween running and weighted leg workouts.
