Why is endurance training overlooked

I’ve been thinking about how many workout plans focus heavily on strength and flexibility, but endurance training often gets pushed to the back. It’s so crucial for overall fitness and resilience, especially if you’re tackling long runs or even just busy days. What strategies do you use to incorporate endurance in your routine? I’d love to swap ideas.

Endurance training is like that unsung hero in a buddy cop movie; often overlooked but super important — i try to squeeze in at least a 30-minute jog once a week, and it really helps clear my mind. What kind of endurance workouts do you find fun?

You’re right about endurance being key! I started adding interval training on my runs, and it’s been a game changer. What’s your favorite way to mix it up? @williams89.
