It's often boring to study endgame, isn't it? But it's tremendously useful to improve our chess understanding and positional intuition. So, a funny way to study endgame is to resolve endgame studies, which in the meantime will also improve your tactics.
I took this studies from Kusnetsov's book 'Brilliant Chess Studies', but as it is only a collection of the greatest chess studies, there's no violation of copyright.

If no one find the complete solution I'll post it in a week.

Ra4+ Ke5 (Kc5 Ra5+) Ra5 c5 (Qxa5 Nc6+) Rxc5 Qxc5 d4+ Kxd4 (Qxd4 Nc6+) Ne6+
Now you have to know how to win the K+p endgame. I think moving the king in front of the pawn and taking the opposition when necessary should allow you to bring the pawn home.
yep that's it!
I've only to add a variation:
4...Qxd4 5.Nc6 Ke4 6.Nd4(6.f3? Kd5 6.Nd4 Kd4 7.Kf2) 6...Kd4 7.Kf3! +-
