How can I increase my running stamina in less than a week?
Running is addictive once you master it!It will take you 7–15 days to consistently push yourself to go for it. Once your mind will be used to it, your body will automatically support you.Being a person who always struggled to improve upon stamina, this is a tried and tested method by me and I think it may help others too. And yes, my stamina improved within a week by using techniques mentioned below.I am not an expert , the below advice is from my personal experiences :-)Now I can run continuously for 70-80 minutes on a treadmill or can run for 1 hour continuously on a field without stopping.Before you start, ensure that you buy a good pair of sports shoes and comfortable tracks. Tie a sweat band and carry a water bottle to keep yourself hydrated. Eat something before 60-90 minutes prior to start. I generally eat banana or have a black coffee and 2 biscuits at least an hour before running.I started with walking on a treadmill at the speed of 5 km/hr for 10 minutes. Then after 10 minutes increase the speed to 5.5 and just run slowly like you do in a marathon for 10 minutes continuously. Try to sustain for more 10 minutes. Push your limits to 10 more minutes. Lo! you have successfully completed 40 minutes of running. Another way would be to walk for 2 min and run for 5 minutes and repeat this activity for 9 times. This would keep you engaged and encouraged for walking / running by looking at the timer on the treadmill and also away from boredom of running on a treadmill.Do not forget to keep your best playlist loaded in your mobile and keep your mobile in a flight mode so that you are away from distractions.To have variations, try to complete your first 1Km in stipulated time. Then set a target of x calories to be burnt. Then try to reach to next Km and so on. Try to beat your previous best record of at least by a minute or so.This is a method I tried to keep myself motivated to running. And yes on the seventh day I tried running on field and could easily do it!The sense of achievement was great since I always gave up running in field within 5-10 minutes!Running regularly has now become my passion, I miss it when I am unable to run due to rains...

I am 15. How do I increase my running stamina and speed within 2-3 months?
Improving Running Stamina & Speed in 2-3 MonthsI have no idea about your general fitness, exposure to games, body weight and so on. I will presume that you have not done any regular running or have been involved with any seriously energetic sport. Please follow these guidelines which have been prepared for systematic improvement starting from the stage of a beginner. You can adopt the guidelines in accordance with your current level.BEGINNER: LEVEL-1Train on alternate days. This allows body time to recover from the exertion. Everyday training will yield poorer results because of over training.For the first 30-60 days do not train for speed. Run at a convenient pace. Try to build up the duration of run to about 30 min nonstop, irrespective of the distance covered.Once the body is trained to cover 4.5 to 5 km comfortably, nonstop, you have reached the stage for the next level of training. Till then have patience & perseverance. It is vital not to get injured.BEGINNER: LEVEL-2After reaching this stage incorporate once a week interval training to build speed. Interval training would mean running at 80% of peak pace for distances varying from(Distance in meters x number of repetitions, with 2-3 min recovery time to regain breath) 150 x 8, 200 x 8, 400 x 6, 600 x 6, 800 x 4.Once you can run 400 m below 70 sec & 1600 m below 6 min incorporate once a week jumping & bounding exercises, called plyometrics in your training to further improve speed.Do not try to run more than 8 km at a stretch, unless you desire to train for 10km, half marathon & full marathon.Continue to train on alternate days only.INTERMEDIATE: LEVEL-3Once you can run 400 m below 65 sec & 1600 m below 5:30 min, you can be considered an intermediate level runner.For further progress plan a training regimen under expert guidance.Continue to train on alternate days, unless advised otherwise by coach.DIET TIPSOne hour before run eat a light snack, like a banana.Whenever training session is longer than one hour carry water & electoral to replenish loss of water & salt.At levels 2 & 3 watch your protein intake. It should be between 1 to 1.5 gm per kg of body weight.At levels 2 & 3 have a light protein & carbohydrate combined snack within 30 min post training (E.g. Slice with peanut butter).Keep well hydrated.
How can I increase my stamina/ endurance?
When you run make sure you do it in intervals. So start slow, increase speed, slow down, increase speed, etc stuff like that. What this does it because when you slow down you dont feel like speeding up again you push yourself to do better and increase your stamina. You increase your stamina/endurance when you're tired and pushing yourself. Stopping and starting again is a huge part of endurance cause it takes a lot of energy to start moving after you've stopped, etc thats why you get tired in games because you're constantly changing directions and speed. For this you can do the beep test. It sucks, but it actually helps test your endurance. Endurance takes a long time just do your best to keep up and stuff then you know where you stand. (Its going to take longer than a week to increase endurance, what you could do though is build up on carbohydrates before this run - just google search what you can do) Good luck!
How Can A 12 Year Old Boy Gain Speed And Stamina?
It's not GOOD, but its all right for someone your age. An OK time for a 400 (1 lap) would be around sixty-seventy seconds (thats what i get) If you take into consideration the rate of tiring, an 800 would probably go for about 2 or two and a half minutes. maybe even three. If you want to increase stamina, try running 2 400s and 2 800s each day. do this set 3 to 5 times take a ten minute rest between sets. drink water, but not too much. you don't want to throw up (unless you're fine with it). try joining a track team and doing practices with them. Running techniques? Keep your arms close to your body. the rate at which your arms move also correlate to how fast you go, since your arms and your legs offset each other. keeping your arms in close, also try running on the balls of your foot (the bumps under the forefront of your foot), this also helps speed. Get some good running shoes too, and get spikes.

What are some good ways to improve speed and stamina?
Yes THATS WONDERFUL! but may I ask for WHAT?I mean having great stamina in swimming does NOT mean you'll have a great stamina running and vice versa.. ButOh you mean in general? Like for general fitnessThere are two ways-1.CONSIATENTLY DO THE 'THING' YOU WANT TO GET FAST IN OR IMPROVE STAMINA IN-A QUICK MANNER (to teach the body how to recruite it's fast muscle fibres to this particular action more effectively )-A SLOW MANNER ( to work on technique more properly)For example to improve the sprints , one must Drill the running technique , practice slower runs with focus and LATER run full force to 'test' and 'condition' the body2.LIFT HEAVY WEIGHTSStrength=speedI would be more specific in my advice but I Don't know WHAT you want your speed in. Anyways.Hope this helps
