When I've trained my various dogs as puppies I would take them to the dog park for a long walk. I would just wander slowly for a few hours (around three hours, or as long as it took) while they tired themselves out chasing other dogs and running around; when it seemed they were sufficiently tired; I knew they were tired when they would come back to my side and stay by my side even with new dogs showing up to play. Once they were tired out I would begin running, and run until they could no longer keep up, when tired out the pup would sit or lie in the trail behind me. I would turn and call the pup (at this point all she wants is to come to you) and wait until she was by my side, then I would run again till the pup lays down in the path and you have to call it to you again. I would repeat this three times or so and carry the pup back to the car, then do the same thing next saturday, and again the saturday after that, and so on. I've usually started recall training the day I get the pup in my yard (teaching them the commands) but this routine I save until the pup is a little older and strong enough to run for some time, it cements the relationship. My dogs learn that they cant out-run me. They never think about why they're tired and I'm not, all they know is that I'm outrunning them, and they learn not to bother in the future. The trick to this routine is to not allow them time to relax and get their wind again, they should be running around with the other dogs the whole time if they stop, get them running. Keep em' panting. This has worked for all my dogs. I have to say they weren't machines with perfect recall, but I didn't have to worry about them too much.
