    Running is both enjoyable and a healthy workout, one of the simplest, cheapest and most effective ways to stay fit and strong. After you move from the walking and light jogging phases to faster running paces, you might be curious about how to improve your running. I learned how to improve my running while training for 5k races, 10-mile runs and soccer. It's amazing how quickly you can see the improvements when you work on your stride, posture and pace.

    Do short sprints, and then slow down to recover. The idea is to "explode & then recover" that way your heart rate speeds up and then recovers, that's what you want to achieve in the less time as possible, and that will help you tremendously with your running, endurance, etc.

    Source(s): I train MMA, I couldn't run for more than 15 mins, and strength & conditioning coach would tell me to do these & now I run for 3 miles in a little over 15 mins

    run everyday..

    you need to be running 20-30 miles a week

    don't do sprints, that won't help much
