The Doctor has many major endurance feats in the series, examples include the 10th doctor, on multiple occasions, being electrocuted, shot with energy weapons/attacks, surviving the amount of radiation from an X-ray turned up to 5000% more than its normal use, which insta killed a Slab, and, after already sustaining injury (Wilfred even saying he's in a hell of a state), goes a fair while after absorbing 500,000 rads (his words not mine), but eventually does regenerate. These should generally be enough for fairly high stamina, especially since Radiation and some of the effects of Electricity are treated as bypassing regular durability.
(The Doctor) "The Master left the Nuclear Bolt running. It's gone into overload."
(Wilfred) "And that's bad, is it?"
(The Doctor) "No. 'Cause all the excess radiation gets vented inside there. Vinvocci glass contains it. All 500,000 rads about to flood that thing."
In Heaven Sent of Series 9/Season 35, the Doctor stated that Time Lords sometimes might take a while to die (please look at the quotes). He shows this with an event of it happening, with the damage he himself has sustained taking more than a day and a half, and says that Time Lords know when to bury other time lords, unlike humans.
Context: He has been beating a wall 400x harder than diamond, and has sustained severe injury.
"People always get it wrong with Time Lords. We take forever to die."
"Even if we're too injured to regenerate, every cell in our bodys keep trying. Dying properly can take days. That's why we like to die among our own kind. They know not to bury us early."
^ This last part, at the very least, should scale to the other Time Lords.
Speaking on the 1.5 days part, the Doctor also crawled constantly up a stair case that amount of time, despite the bones in his hands being shattered.
