Endurance

What is endurance?

Endurance is the ability to withstand prolonged mental, emotional, or physical hardship and still persist. It requires total body strength - not just physical, but mental and emotional as well. Endurance allows you to keep pushing, even when things get grueling and you feel like giving up.

• Some key components of endurance:


• Physical stamina - the ability to perform an activity for an extended period, like running a marathon


• Mental fortitude - the mental strength to overcome discomfort and keep powering through


• Resilience - the capacity to withstand adversity and challenges without cracking under the pressure


• Self-motivation - the drive and discipline to keep pursuing goals despite obstacles and setbacks


• High pain threshold - the tolerance to persist despite physical discomfort or suffering

How can you build stronger endurance? Here are a few key tips:
* Gradually increase your training volume over time to stress your body (but not over-train)
* Cross train with other activities rather than just focus on one
* Fuel well and stay hydrated
* Strive for moderately intense, long-duration activities to push your aerobic and threshold capacities
* Visualize yourself pushing through the finish line during training
* Strengthen your mindset by practicing positive self-talk and gratitude

Building endurance takes time, consistency, smart programming and training, and mental toughness. But the payoff is huge - achieving feats you might have once seen as impossible. Whether it's qualifying for Boston, finishing an Ironman, or hiking 20 miles in the backcountry, endurance allows us to realize our body's astonishing potential.
