Last year when it came to sports, I was very lazy. I didn't even try out for any. To be honest I'm not a sporty guy, because INFPs dislike conflict, and I think somewhere subconsciously in my mind I feel like sport is just mankind's way of releasing their destructive/conflict-prone instincts, but when I play sports, I am quite good at them. So this year, I decided that I might try out for cross country...
But there's only one thing. My endurance... is terrible. When I'm running on the treadmill and I always have to stop for like a ten second breather and it's annoying. Also, my endurance is very inconsistent because sometimes I can run for like 25 minutes straight and other times, I can barely run for ten minutes without getting exhausted. Is this just a calorie-intake thing, like as in I need to eat more food, thus giving me more calories, thus giving me more energy to run? Or is this an endurance issue?
Any tips on how to boost ones endurance would be helpful.
