endurance running

Endurance running refers to long-distance running that emphasizes stamina and the ability to maintain a steady pace over extended periods. It typically involves races longer than a mile, with marathons (26.2 miles) being a prime example. This type of running develops cardiovascular fitness, muscle endurance, and mental resilience. Runners often train to improve their aerobic capacity, efficiency, and pacing strategies. Endurance running not only promotes physical health but also fosters a sense of achievement and personal growth, as participants often push past their limits and connect with a community of runners.
