Training for Endurance and Economy

To develop endurance, it is essential to gradually extend easy running distances and find a balance between stimulus and recovery. Incorporating heavy resistance training, plyometric activities, and sprints helps improve overall durability and running economy. Furthermore, training on race-like terrain allows for short burst efforts that contribute significantly to building stamina. Consistently increasing mileage or effort while carefully managing recovery is crucial for long-term success in endurance training.
