Effective Ways to Increase Your Stamina for Running
Do you often dream of running and completing a marathon, but huff and puff and feel your heart pounding after running half a mile? Then, you need to work on your stamina and muscle endurance. It comes with practice and a few tricks. 1. Warm Up A great deal of your running form depends on whether or not you did warm exercises. Warm up is necessary, not an option. Give yourself a good 10 minutes to warm up the muscles so that they are ready to take on the challenge. Start by doing neck rotations, arm circles, shoulder rotations, waist rotations, side lunges, spot jogging, jumping jacks, and ankle rotations. 2. Maintain Proper Posture Maintaining proper posture will help you run better and for a longer duration. Plus, it will protect you from injury. Roll your shoulders back, look ahead, push your chest up, loosen your neck and arms, clench your fist, put your thumbs inside the hollow made by the four fingers and start running slowly. 3. Check Your Breathing Technique
