The ability to sustain or repeat physical effort over time.
Why Endurance matters
Endurance is specific: cardiovascular endurance and local muscular endurance may require different training.
A practical example
Gradually extending an easy run develops a different capacity from high-repetition leg extensions.
Common mistake
Assuming one long, exhausting session builds every form of endurance.
Keep the context in mind.
Training and nutrition terms describe general principles. The right exercise, intensity or food target still depends on your experience, health, goals and schedule.
Personalised coaching
Apply the principle to your own training.
A definition is useful, but your programme still needs to match your experience, schedule, recovery and goals.
