Building Endurance Through Volume

To build endurance, high running volume is essential. This means gradually increasing mileage over time, with high mileage being relative to the runner's comfort level. Incorporating aerobic cross-training, such as cycling or pool running, can supplement running mileage and help boost overall endurance. The key is to commit to this gradual increase consistently and patiently over the long term.
