Overview
The creator explains how to build endurance by first clarifying which type of cardio to use for specific goals (running, low-impact, or sport-specific). He then breaks down the four essential areas to train: Aerobic Endurance, VO2 Max, Power Endurance (split into Alactic and Lactic intervals), and Threshold. For each area, he provides a specific workout protocol, including time on/off, intensity level (RPE), and the number of sets, concluding with a call to follow for more content.

Transcript
Welcome to conditioning maxing one tier one. Run if you wanna get better at running. Use a cardio machine if you want low joint impact. Play your sport if you want to get better at your sport. There are four things we need to train. Aerobic endurance, thirty to forty five minutes at an easy pace, four out of 10 intensity. VO two max, breathing is going to be your limiting factor. One minute on, one minute off, five to 12 sets at a nine out of 10 intensity. Power, endurance. There are two ways to train this. Alactic intervals. Five seconds on, fifty five seconds off, at a 10 out of 10 intensity, 12 to 20 sets. Lactic intervals, this is brutal. Thirty seconds on, two minutes off, at a 10 out of 10 intensity, three to six sets. Last better not least, threshold. Three minutes on, one minute off at a seven to eight out of 10 intensity. Follow-up for more.
