Well yes you are not running enough. The thing is you have to get your lungs use to taking in the larger amounts of oxygen. When your done running you have to control your breathing. You have to build a base of strength and endurance before you go on to speed(think of it like a pyramid).\nI say don't think of how many miles you run, but for how long. You can push yourself to the limit(ROCKY) in the ring, and with other training, but when it comes to running...just nice and easy-keep your form-work on the gut.\nIf anything else go into a swimming pool and practice breathing techniques. What I mean is to do a few laps, get warmed up, then hold your breathe and go under for as long as you can, then when you come up for air relax. Keep doing it until you are able to as soon as you come up for air you can go more laps around the pool and not have to stop.\nAlso try jumping into cold water, and seeing as to how long you can remain in the water. Ever see Saint Ralph the movie? This will help you. Overtime you'll see your times getting longer in the water, that means you can handle more.

Do more repetations with less weight. This principal applies on all stamina developing programs for muscular stamina or cardio vascular stamina. For example to increase your cardio vascular stamina you have to run at slow speed but for long time. To Increase cardiovascular stamina dont count the miles you have run, count the time for you have run.

Running is great cardio and getting in overall good tone.\nYou've probably noticed your defintion is pretty good in the legs and glutes.\nOn being more 'buff', do you mean wish you had better definition in all muscle groups?\nIf so, then you need to go to the gym, do resistance training and increase the protien in your diet.  Get good massages after strenuous sessions and you will not ache so much.

Interval training.  Run as hard as you can for two minutes, then jog easyly for two minutes, then run as hard as you can for three minutes and jog for three minutes.  You get the picture?  You need to push yourself into O2 deficit over and over. Burn more O2 than you can take in.  It will take longer to reach that point every time you try.  This will increase your aerobic capacity.  It will also help you to increase your glycogen stores wich will increase your stamina.

cardio is the way to go try to get up to 1 hr a day,  run , jumping rope or a bike ride like a 10 speed in low gear .  Eat more veggies\nand don't cut out carbs totally just have small portions of them.\nYou body will burn more calories from working out everyday and if you eat balanced meals your body should start burning your stored energy (fat) try to stay away from fat in foods so the fat that gets broken down for energy is from your body and not your diet.  the only way to speed up your body's calorie intake is a high cardio  work out push ups and crunches too and remember to eat veggies for snacks when I train hard I'm always hungry and don't want to get a bad habit of loading up on junk after working so hard. Another thing is having high protein in your diet to aid in the development of muscle tissue that will in turn burn more cals. Stay away from the scale, drink plenty of water and if your not sweating heavy your not working hard enough. Good Luck

Do more cardio and fat burning "stuff" vs. pure strength training.

You need a combination of aerobic and weight training exercises. just running alone won't tone up your midsection. You need to tone the whole body, not just the midsection. Using light weights/a lot of repetitions is the key to toniing up and not bulking up. For instance, if you want to bulk up, you'd lift, say, 30 pounds 10 times for three sets. If you want to tone up, you'd lift 15 pounds 20 times for three sets. Lighter weights for more reps is the key. The running will help take some of the fat off, but only with the proper diet.\n\n"And there it stands: If you want to boost your metabolism to lose more weight, run (or walk) around the block as much as you can.\n\nBut first, eat less. The experts from the American Dietetic Association and the American College of Sports Medicine all agree, generally advising a 500- to 1000-calorie-a-day reduction. Without this--that is, with exercise alone--few people succeed in their weight-loss efforts. Weight loss works best when you: (1) Eat less; (2) Add exercise to increase your daily calorie deficit; (3) Keep exercising to keep the pounds off.\n\nWhen you're done, spend a few minutes on strength-training exercises. Strength training really is good. It adds variety to your workouts, rarely causes injuries, and can build extra muscle to go with the enhanced aerobic fitness that comes from continuous exercise. \n\nAnd then there's the part about looking sleeker and sexier, and who can argue with that? \nhttp://www.runnersworld.com/article/0,7120,s6-242-304--7753-0,00.html\n\nCross-Train\n\nCan't run another step? We have the solution: Increase your weekly calorie deficit by adding more nonrunning forms of exercise. At the top of the list, according to Westcott, should be circuit-training--a form of weight training designed to improve your strength, flexibility, endurance, and aerobic capacity. And all four of these benefits ensure that circuit-training is also a decent calorie burner. \nhttp://www.runnersworld.com/article/0,7120,ss6-242-304--7767-2-1X2-3,00.html

You should definitely drink a lot of water and eat some good food. you should do some situps, the stronger the abs, the better. one of the better conditioning workouts for any kinnd of runner would be hills. they strengthen your legs and really improve your times. just try not to overwork youself, that can lead to really bad consequences.

Take walking breaks when you feel out of breath, then start running again when you can breathe.  Keep repeating for your whole workout.  After a few weeks, you'll be able to run a couple of miles without having to stop.\n\nAs you train, work hills into your route.  Hills really help build up your strength.  \n\nAre you running too fast?  Your running pace should allow you to talk without discomfort.

Love hundles huh.  Do some cardio vascular exercises (jogging, running, swimming, or skipping).  Usually standing in front of the mirror with legs apart, do a fist and turn from left to right as far as you can reach about 80 times, every day.  Do some sit ups and roll ups.  Stop eating late at nights - deadline is 7:00 pm.

Cardio is better.  Strength will just build up muscle density.  Do lots of running to burn off the weight.

If I were you I'd join a bootcamp and increase exercise in the early morning and then follow that up with another 1.5 hours of more cardio and weights during the day. \n\nHere are some golden rules to getting leaner & building stamina: \nInitially cut down your fat intake to 30 gram and calories to 1600-1800 calories. \nExercise 6 times per week for at least 1.5 hours a day. \nDo three weight sessions and three cardio sessions. \nDon't eat carbs after 4pm, never eat carbs within 2 hours of exercise or within 1 hour of exercise. \nDrink 3 litres of water per day. You can have a green tea at the end of the day. \nLimit your fruit in take to 2 pieces per day. \nNever eat dinner after 6pm.\nAdopt of low GI eating plan this is sustainable for life! \n\nExercise must be intense. Refer to www.bodybuilding.com for your weights routine. You can do a circuit class but this counts as one weights session. Never do weights two consecutive days have a cardio day in between. \n\nCardio needs to include running (do it uphills as well), rowing, stairmaster, boxing and double spin sessions. Include running up a stair well or sand dunes. If your classes are less than 1 hour top it up with cardio before and after classes. You get the most benefits from exercise when your body is totally fatigued and this is when you see changes. \n\nWhen you get to the gym after stretching do this everyday and time it. Your aim is to beat your time each day there is no recovery time between each set so run to the next peice of equipment: \n1) 1km run incline 3 as fast as you can\n2) 2km bike ride level 10 as fast as you can\n3) 1km row level 10 as fast as you can\n4) Stepper - 30 stairs as fast as you can\n\nAs you get fitter double the time so do 2kms not 1kms for each exercise and time it and so forth. Increase the levels and go hard. Do your weights straight after. You will burn over 300 calories just doing the above for 15 minutes not bad hah!\n\nYou will get fitter very quickly and definately build stamina.
