Dude the very first thread in the trumpet forum is called THE ENDURANCE THREAD. Check it out. If you add in some lip slurs as well, your endurance will become amazing.

This is what I suggest.
When you are practicing you alternate between Strength Days and Endurance Days so you are not tearing the same muscles everyday. On Strength Days you play the higher stuff and harder stuff. Though on these days you should rest often and take frequent breaks. On the Endurance Days you play less demanding stuff chop wise and rest a lot less. This way you are not tearing away the same muscles everyday. Good luck with it, it works for me.

Long tones will definitely help. I have a long warm up routine that improved my endurance. Check it out in the last post of this thread: http://horntabs.net/thread.cgi?thread=848
