"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

How can you seriously advance your endurance levels?
I'm involved in rowing and it demands high levels of fitness and endurance and this becomes clear with erg tests on the rowing machines. How do you djs increase endurance and fitness?
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

I don't know what your current training is. But for more advanced enduros they will be training to extend anaerobic threshold and VO2 max training in addition to extending aerobic lsd work.

Also the use of periodisation techniques focussing on different things at different stages.

If you are not training specifically for rowing, cross training in cycling, swimming running or x country skiing is a good idea.

Also reducing your weight, whilst maintaining strength levels will automatically improve performance.

More extreme would be altitude training or get your hands on some EPO, but that's getting a bit serious. Creatine and maltodextrine will extend performance though also.

Cardio vascular endurance/health > Jogging for long sessions 30-60 minutes at low intensity.

Muscular endurance > high rep lifting, 20+ reps (this alone wont benefit as greatly as cardio)
