Answer 2

find your limits, and then push yourself beyond them. find the limit that you can't push past. stay straining against it for a while. once you feel better, push past it. repeat. it is grueling, but the only way to build stamina is by pushing yourself hard for a long time, as long as you can take it, and then some. stamina is part genetic, if you can not improve the way I suggest above, try re-examining how you spend your energy each day. Cut out the superfluous things. See if that helps.

Answer 3

just add an extra 5 mins weekly to your routine. I did that and now I am up tp 45mins 3x a week.

Answer 4

continue what u are doing, keep pushing, thats the way to build your stamina. attempt other types of exercises also like skipping

Answer 5

Stamina along with other abilities appear to be genetic.

You can not make a world elite runner out of everyone no matter how hard you train.

However, you can get much better.

You should have seen improvement in less than 3 months if you are running at least 3 to 5 days each week.

Run easy, relax, just try to be comfortable and increase your distance 1 or 2 days each week.

Doing long runs along with your regular runs will help you adapt.

After a month you can start doing the long runs as your regular days.

You may have developed a mental block as to how far you can run without stopping so you should shock your system by running farther.

If you will continue to run when you feel like stopping your body should respond and let  you keep running.

Run with others and talk about different things so you  will not think to yourself here is where I always stop.

Answer 6

when your running, make sure you carry a bottle or 2 of lucozade sport.

run for a while, stop, then run, then stop til you want to stop altogether.

dont push yourself too hard, you could injure yourself if your body isnt up to it(:
