Start by running consistently

Endurance develops through repeated exposure to running. A consistent weekly routine is generally more valuable than occasional very long runs followed by several days of recovery.

Run consistently each week
Keep most sessions comfortable
Increase training gradually
Avoid large jumps in distance

Add a weekly longer run

A longer easy run can help you become more comfortable spending time on your feet. The distance should match your current experience and overall training load.

Learn to control your effort

Running slower can sometimes be the key to running longer. If you start too quickly, fatigue can build before you have completed the distance you planned.
