The ability to run for long distances or long periods of time without getting tired is a fitness ideal that nearly everyone would be proud to achieve, athlete and coach potato alike. And, although it may sound too good to be true, there is really only one key to achieving great stamina.
Discipline! Although simply starting is important, it's not even half the battle of stamina building. The majority of people who decide that they want to build stamina begin a training regimen and work through it for a few days, slowly but surely getting more and more into shape. But then, on one day or another they find that they don't feel like going through the training, or for whatever reason they don't have the time that day, and so they skip their regular training session. Although they may believe this is an "isolated" incident over the short term, often they'll begin to find more excuses to skip training. One day turns to five days, and soon they're no longer training at all. All their hard work from the first several days slips away, and they find that they're completely out of shape again.
Stamina training works like this. You're all the way out of shape in the beginning. You train for a number of days, and that leaves you slightly less than all the way out of shape. If you keep going and keep going some more, eventually you will not be out of shape at all.
Only at this point you will have the stamina that everyone strives for, with the ability to run long distances and perform exercises for hours that others can only do for minutes. Along with this, you'll also find that you have more energy than before. But, you have to remember that just because you're in shape now doesn't mean you'll stay that way. If you stop training, you'll begin to slip back down the scale until you're right back at 0%.
Since what you want is to develop stamina and keep it that way, you need to start your training program and keep with it. A good habit can be formed when you repeat something 21 times in a row. So you must carry out your training routine for that first 21 days, no breaks and no excuses. If you have a day when your heart's just not in it, recognize that this kind of day is when working out will be most beneficial.
All of this will help get you into the habit of working out, regardless of the circumstances. Think of the mornings you'd rather sleep in than take a shower: do you not take one just because you don't feel like it? Of course not - it's a hygiene habit that we've all developed (I hope!). In the same way, you need to reach a frame of mind where even when you don't feel like training, that doesn't hold you back from doing it anyway.
Just do it regardless of how you are feeling, you'll develop that good habit, and you'll be in better and better shape every day. Once training is part of your daily schedule, you'll find that you no longer have resistance to it. - 33688
