Why would you smoke if you want to increase your endurance??
To quote:
"Cigarette smoking has been shown to increase serum hemoglobin, increase total lung capacity and stimulate weight loss, factors that all contribute to enhanced performance in endurance sports."
From:
Cigarette smoking: an underused tool in high-performance endurance training.
Seems legit to me.

Hello,
IMHO, "endurance" can be considered as two different things:
- strength-endurance
- cardio-vascular endurance
Muscular endurance is often considered as strength-endurance regarding a specific move or pattern.
You can increase strength-endurance by performing GTG or multiple sets of the required skill. For example, n push ups per hour every day.
Cardio-vascular endurance can be trained with a variety of ways. Unless we are looking for a specific adaptation (exp: being a good runner), rowing, cycling, swimming, rucking, rope skipping, or even "IronWolf's" high rep burpee routines will lead to the same cardio vascular adaptations (ability to use fat as fuel, reducing RHR, etc...). However, it will not necessarily transfer to another activity.
For instance, for a while I did skipping rope up to 45 minutes a day. Nonetheless, the first time I went running, my legs gave up even if my heart and lungs were just fine...
Regardless the way we use, we can easily avoid the "smoker thing" by simply pacing. Nasal breathing will work well or running for instance. Or we can set up x number of repetition per minutes if we talk about burpees or rowing strokes.
Kind regards,
Pet'

This, as written, or add a middle third day with "60-80% duration of the first day." (stated by Pavel in comments)

I've been doing a low frequency Novocaine style of A+A sessions immediately followed by hypertrophy/strength ladders to induce fatigue for increasing muscular endurance while keeping power production high for combat sport. My log has more details of the sets, reps, rest, etc. It's been great as a supplement to bjj.
