Any tips to improve cardiovascular endurance?

[RoadToRecovery]

Immediate explosiveness (ATP), Longer bouts of anaerobic activity (glyoclytic) and endurance (oxidative) are 3 totally different pathways and many sports incorporate all of them. You can be extremely powerful and have outlasting stamina. Just ask Mike Tyson. You cant train to be fast or slow twitch muscle dominant. Thats just absolutely absurd. In fact, you cant control that. What are you trying to get at when you say:

there are muscle fibers that are supposedly in transition between slow twitch and fast twitch and obviously others are set and can never be changed.

Im afraid that doesnt make any sense.

OP -This all boils down to cardiovascular longevity. Running for 15-25 minutes will not help you. You need to set up an actual training plan dedicated to endurance. For starters,
figure out your max heart rate using the Karvonen method and come back and post your results

im more or less saying you can increase your natural speed and no im not saying all long distance is bad. im just saying more expolsive workouts would be more beneficial not that long distance is worthless. im assuming your familiar with slow twitch and fast twitch muscle fibers? im more or less just saying optimize what you have got to achieve your maximum speed and power. yes i understand your thinking genetics control that and thats true to a point but you can always train for your optimal speed. So i guess after all this posting im just saying make sure you include speed workouts like the sprinting i listed and dont rely on strictly long distance cardio. yes you also need long cardio training as well . but your right after i reread what i posted i kind of get what you are saying what i posted was confusing and not written well and could of been much simpler like the above. According to some scientific reports there are a small amount of muscle fibers that are in transition from slow twitch to fast twitch and vise versa.This was part of my personal training education anyways. OH! a good solid base is required so you have to have good cardio. both are equally important. im not saying neglect long cardio training just make sure u do more explosive sprint type work outs =)

So i guess after all this posting im just saying make sure you include speed workouts like the sprinting i listed and dont rely on strictly long distance cardio. thats really about it. yes you also need long cardio training as well . so pretty much thats about it . stop making me have to explain myself road or its the rockem sockem robot duel! but your right after i reread what i posted road to recovery. i kind of get what you are saying what i posted was confusing and could of been much simpler like the above are you happy!

Your like a puppy that just had his owner walk through the front door from work. Your all over the place

Clearly you can increase what ever you have by training, but that isnt my point. You were giving contradictory advice by saying that he could increase his endurance by sprinting. Sprinting is an anaerobic and highly explosive exercise.

Increasing your cardiovascular endurance is not specifically about the activity, but maintaining a higher heart rate for an extended period of time. If the activity lasts for an hour, then guess what? You need to perform cardiovascular endurance training beyond that. Its that simple.

this is true i get overwhelmed and cant get it out correctly or type exactly what i mean. fix me. im actually thinking its because i havent been to sleep in over 50 hours and should probably log the **** off here until i get sleep. cause my g/f was looking at this and said 1/2 of what i have written today is slightly brain damaged sounding. i was more or less saying focus a lil heavier on explosive training.

road just out of curiousity ... what kind of education or self education do you have in training and body science. no disrespect meant at all im just interested. you seem knowledgeable in some areas. and do you like bsn products or have had any success with them i get mixed reviews
