Long distance running, which many call endurance running, needs to be at least 5 miles to be considered this type.
I wonder why it is exactly 5 miles then. I've never tried this before.
I don't know how they came up with that mandatory set limit, but I know long distance running is great in improving a person's cardiovascular health.
Oh I'm sure it is! It must also be great for your legs.
Yes! It's really mainly aerobic, and does really need a person that has a lot of stamina and mental strength too.
That makes sense, I need to get out and run a bit more since my stamina is pretty meh.
Me too! The military often includes endurance running for their training and has since they began.
That's smart, since so much of the military is endurance based.
Exactly, so endurance running will increase the hormones and enzymes that makes muscles to become stimulated, which makes the heart work much better. Of course this is definitely need in the military!
So that's why cardio helps the heart so much? Cool!
