    Get More Fit in Less Time Pro athletes and weekend warriors know that you must train your cardiovascular system to improve your endurance and sports performance. Getting at least 20 or 30 minutes of exercise at least three times per week has become the foundation of cardiovascular fitness. However, there are other ways to get cardiovascular benefits. In fact, evidence supports the benefit of short, high intensity efforts as a means of improving aerobic capacity and endurance. Sprint training is becoming a new way to train. Recent studies involving bicyclists showed great results in very little time. In fact, one study found that just six sessions of 4-7 all-out 30 second sprints (with four minutes of recovery) could be as effective in improving cardiovascular fitness as an hour of daily moderate activity. The subjects in one study showed a full 100 percent increase in endurance capacity (from 26 minutes to 51 minutes) versus the control group who showed no change.

    By running every day for 8 or 9 minutes! After a while your body will get used to it and you won't even notice it anymore! Pace yourself and pretty soon you will be able to run for 15 or 20 minutes and the more you run the better endurance you will have!

    It's called practice. Run hard for a as long as you can. Then do it again later, but try to run for longer. Repeat those two steps. Then do it again. Eventually, if you keep practicing, you'll find that you can for longer periods of time without fatigue.

    do what i do, pu on a heavy backpack all around school, so that you'll build up muscle in your legs with out you knowing.

    and when you take off your backpack, you'll be like the speed of light.

    and trust me, it works cuz i ran around a football field in 1min. 17 sec.

    and yes, it's is true, i even timed it.
