How to Build Endurance

[00:36] A lot of times, our heart rate increases not because we're doing something wrong. Sometimes, it's excitement. The thought of fear and excitement create the same reactions in the body. Your heart rate goes up, and you get sweaty palms. That's the feeling of excitement.

Control your Thoughts

[01:34] It’s important to understand that elevated heart rate might not have anything to do with exerting yourself, but could have more to do with your thoughts about it.

[02:40]

A research study by Dr. Nicholas Romanov investigated what would happen if elite runners ran up a hill with their eyes closed. There was a heart rate increase, but it was substantially less than when the eyes were opened.

Let Go of Your Thoughts

[03:50] Let go of those thoughts when they hit you and your heart rate increases. Talk to yourself and remain calm. Make sure that your arms are loose and you can handle the run. Think that you’ll be okay, and you will be.

[05:00] Start looking at your thoughts and how they're affecting your heart rate and the tension in your body. Remember that it's really about your thoughts, and that can have a significant impact on your heart rate.
