Any tips on running faster/endurance?

[Anonymous]

My fastest mile is about 9:40, my slowest about 15 minutes. I need to get better at running, mostly on endurance. I run a bit and get tired really fast. Any tips to help?

I have a guy friend who has recently increased his pace in running and long distance. I asked him what his trick was and he told me that pacing your breathing is really important (I pant a lot when I run - not attractive) and he really draws out the breaths. He said it's uncomfortable at first because you have to adapt your breathing style, but it's possible. Three months later and I'm still panting

I pant a lot too. I'll try that though, thanks!

[ladieslady50]

No problem

9'40 is almost 10 km/h which is a very good running speed. 15' is slow, more jogging speed. When you start, don't run too fast so you can warm up. And then slowly go faster. Try to run around 8 km/h and keep that speed for a long time. Once that goes well, start increasing your speed.

You can always do 100 metre sprints! Do it 5 times a day! And try to do your best! It will develope your leg muscles and your breathing rate which will improve your speed and endurance!

something i forgot to mention when ever yous run keep your mouth shut and breath with your nose not your mouth! this increases your stamina too!

[Asker]

Thanks!

I've heard of a lot of different methods for distance training.
Running 5 sprints per day is not one of them...

[luvme56]

Well i do it!

[rthomas43]

Are you a distance runner?
Age? Times?

[luvme56]

Well i am into sprinting..10. something seconds in 100 metres!
And running faster in small distances... also helps in running slowly for long distances!

I guess its logical!

[rthomas43]

Haha your logic is severely flawed.
Keep up the good work though with your sprinting. You sound like a beast.

[luvme56]

@rthomas43... do you un-flawing it? So at least i could learn my mistakes! Thanks

[luvme56]

Know how can i*

[rthomas43]

Long story short, distance running and sprinting are entirely different activities. Sprinting is all about conditioning your muscles to be explosive for short bursts. Distance running is about conditioning your body to make efficient use of oxygen and building up muscle stamina.

[luvme56]

So... ok... got it!

[rthomas43]

Run run run run run run run run run run run run run run run run run.

[Asker]

Thanks! :)

[rthomas43]

Asker, what's your age?

[Asker]

I'm 15

Breath like a race horse and stomp hard jk.

But what I do is:
1. Think about mental math
2. Stare at the ground
3. Breath like a race horse. (Really hard and mostly at once haha)

[luvme56]

I think when you look at the ground You might not get sufficient oxygen which will decrease stamina!

[Elizabeth21__]

Oh. Damn. well I won't do that any more then! Yay :)

[rthomas43]

No offense... but asker... ignore all of this girl's advice. lol

[Asker]

Haha I was thinking that @rthomas43

[mr90skid]

@rthomas43
Lmao!!

[Elizabeth21__]

Thanks for that @rthomas43 💁 not like I get seven minute miles or anything

[rthomas43]

I used to run a sub 5 minute mile. Your point?

[rthomas43]

If you would like some tips, I would be happy to help lol

[Elizabeth21__]

:,( always gotta be better huh? lol I'm just kidding but still I think I got this kinda right. Right?

[Anonymous]

[Asker]

Thanks :)

Run high intensity intervals. By time or distance.
