Most runners, especially beginners, would love to be able to run longer without getting so fatigued that they need to stop. β β In this guide, we will discuss the factors that contribute to your endurance and provide expert tips and training strategies for how to build running endurance and stamina no matter where you are in your running journey.
On Monday afternoon (May 19), William Goodge arrived at Bondi Beach in Sydney after running across the Australian continent in 35 days, marking the end of a 3,800-kilometre journey.
That makes Goodge the new trans-Australia record holder. But as with much of his career in ultrarunning, the achievement hasnβt landed without controversy.
Skipping the cool down might seem like no big deal at the time, especially when youβre short on time or just want to collapse on the couch.
But taking even just a few minutes to gradually bring your heart rate down and stretch those worked muscles helps prevent stiffness and speed up your bodyβs recovery.
Before his election as Pope Leo XIV, Cardinal Robert Prevost lived in a modest apartment near St. Peterβs Square, walked regularly through Romeβs Borgo neighborhood, and worked out at a local gym just a few blocks from the Vatican.
To the staff and trainers at Omega Fitness Club, he was just βRobert,β a quiet, polite man who came in dressed in a tracksuit and kept to his routine.

Your legs feel like bricks and it takes every ounce of effort to move them and keep heading towards the finish line. β βBut the good news is, you can avoid hitting the wall with proper training, fueling, and race pacing.
