what endurance means
Maybe the Boston Marathon or Escape From Alcatraz. Or maybe you have no idea since this is the first time you have ever heard of endurance athletics, or the events that endurance athletes participate in. If you breakdown the term, you get a better idea of why itâs different than being a runner, swimmer or bicyclist. Endurance means. bearing hardship; staying power, continuity or lastingness. Athletics (notice the plural) is being agile; prepared to participate in sports.
