You run. As simple as that. When I went out on my first jog I was breathless after 1km, the rest of the run was a pathetic 100m walk-50m run show. But after a year I was running 10kms 3 times a week in under 50 mins. Also, use couch to 5k

By doing it again and again and again. Today you can do one lap. Maybe next week you can do two. But you have to keep doing it

former trackandfielder and current medfag,

The fatique you experience will get better as your body adapts to the intensity of running.

Your hearts nervous system needs training, for a better and fuller contraction, which goes somewhat quickly, usually within a month or 2.

Gasping for air is also a something that needs neural adaption, your body doesnt need all that air, but it think it does, the respiratory centers are overfiring because its not used to being used.

When starting to run, frequency is better than long runs, mainly for these cns reasons, but also for not getting injured.

Answer to your question about stamina: patients, running will get enjoyable at a point, maybe not this month but maybe the next.

You just gotta start building it up, man. There's no other way about cardio. It's just you and the constant motion, so you need to set goals before you go running or biking the next time. If you make that first loop around the neighborhood without passing out, force yourself to go further.

When I started running about 3 or 4 years ago would always just try to meet my goal throughout the week. That got me nowhere but keeping myself at that same level of ability. You have to run further, and that's how you build up your endurance, and you will feel soso good mang.

Also, be sure to pace yourself when you need to but that doesn't mean walking, and try increasing your speed at an incline.

You can do it breh

It gets easier.
It gets easier every day, but you have to do it every day.
That's the hard part.

Too lazy to link the video, but that's the idea.

What this anon said about gasping for air is really important to remember.

Breathing well plays a big part in running, and it might suck now, but be aware of it so you're not hyperventilating, if you can.

Nice and steady, consisitant breathing.

>or biking
Can biking be as efficient an exercise as running? I mean I've cycled for six months, then started running, and I sucked at it, I couldn't even run a 5k without stopping, now it's easy. I mean it's just harder to push yourself when you're sitting on a comfy bike, already going pretty fast. Also cycling really fast felt dangerous.

Your mistake was walking back to your house in shame instead of walking the track you had intended the run. If you set out to do it, then do it.
