How to improve stamina
-
My stamina sux big time... i cant even run 1km non stop.

some days do interval training, some days do jogging
No matter how bad your stamina is, don't fret. Do it slow if you need to, don't rush............. -
Let Army train you?
Yeah jogging helps i suppose.. Thats what they practice during P.E anyway. just keep running 2.4.. -
Swimming helps.

It does help improve stamina to jog/sprint longer distances.Originally posted by eagle:not much in jogging though
Or practise qigong. I never did realize that I could sprint so far after a few months of practice. I remember someone called me crazy after sprinting a few blocks and showed no signs of tiredness. I thought the person was joking or something, but after counting, that did wake me up a bit.
Before that, at the most, it was 2 blocks of HDB flats before I got tired. This time it's 4 blocks of HDB flats, double than usual.
Now I know why that person called me crazy. At the same time, I would call him that too, I didn't know some idiot paid attention to how much I could run.

To improve stamina, you have to increase your mileage.
Stamina is the capability of sustaining to run for long distances. In other words, having good endurance. A very good way to improve and to clock your mileage is doing long distance jogs. This is also called "easy runs".
Long distance joggings need not be over 70% effort. A 40-50% effort is sufficient. The main aim is the run long distances, not fast speed. Thus, in this way, your stamina will be improved.
You can start with 2KM easy runs, increasing to 5KM depending on your body's adaptation.
Alternatively, besides running (which you might not like), you can choose to swim. Swimming for several laps without stopping helps too. Cycling for long hours might be another way too.
Some mentioned Intervals. Yes, but they'll come useful but only after you have sufficient mileage. Interval only helps to improve your speed which means your timing; it doesn't help in your stamina building.
My advice to all: if you want to do well in 2.4KM, you ought to have trained a distance of 2X the distance, which means 4.8KM. Then, running 2.4KM will be an ease to you. Same goes for running 5KM, you need to clock at least 10KM.
Run for life!

stamina is one thing.
i find that to do well in 2.4km run, speed is of the essence.
one may be able to keep running non stop with good endurance, but without a certain speed he has to keep up consistently with, he's basically a gone fark wad.
i still keep to the idea of training both speed and endurance for running practices..esp when training for 2.4km. -

But without stamina, no point having speed. In TS case, he cant even carry on for 1KM, hence he should focus more on mileage first. -
Swimming helps, A LOT. I used to learn swimming since 5 years old till around 7 and my stamina has been not much of a problem after that. My 2.4 timing during sec 2 is 9.51min (of course with a help of a pacer who's much faster than meOriginally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Swimming helps.
