How to improve my stamina in running?

I am quite slim. 51kgs. 1.71 metres tall. I don't have much fat on my body, but whenever i run, the most i can jog without stopping is about 1 1/2 miles and that's really short.


What's worse is that I'm asthmatic and fater running for a while, I will surely get an attack. So it's quite hard to practice my running.


Any good tips?

How to improve my stamina in running?
You should talk to your doctor about managing your asthma. Are you on a daily medication, or do you use an inhaler as needed? There are daily medications to help you better manage it, such as Singulair. Talk to your doctor about your options.

Try running slower with more controlled breathing. You should get into a steady breathing rythm as soon as possible. For ex. I use 2 strides for an inhale and 3 for an exhale. Do not inhale through the mouth.





Try intervel runs. 45 sec of fast sprints followed by 45 sec of slow jog/walk. Repeat this for 10-15 times.





Try running hills and if on a treadmill run at 2-3 incline
Reply:I'm asthmatic too, but how I am improving my endurance running, is by running in intervals. Run 2 mins, or whatever you can manage now, then walk 2 mins to recover. Run three minutes, still walk two minutes to recover. Widen the inverals and it will build your stamina.
