Measuring Stamina to Help you Build Endurance

In this episode, Nathan discusses the difference between stamina and endurance and how they relate to running. Stamina is a prolonged activity with a higher output, while endurance is simply a prolonged activity. Nathan explains that stamina is a measurement of fatigue resistance and can be used to determine what power output you can hold after doing work. He also shares three ways to build stamina: longer long runs, long runs with a higher output, and longer sub-threshold sessions. Nathan emphasizes the importance of tracking stamina for longer distance races and offers his expertise to help runners improve their stamina.   Takeaways
