Written by When You run or do other aerobic activities, is fundamental the way You breathe.
Each one of us (either amateur or pro) has it’s own tricks.
For example see this tips at completerunning.com:”[...]
- Try slowing down before attempting to change your breathing.
- Focus on longer, deeper breaths.
- Breath more from your diaphragm (belly) than your chest (chest breathing is more shallow).
- Focus on exhaling more fully. This will remove more CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) and allow for deeper inhalations of O2 (Oxygen).
- Allow air to enter through both the nose and mouth. This will allow for maximum O2 intake.
- Aim to take three footsteps for every inhale, and two footsteps for every exhale (3:2 ratio).
- One last thing – try not to over-think your breathing! It’s best to try to slow down, relax, and let yourself fall into your body’s natural rhythm. [...]“
In my experience I add: just try to give you a rhythm to follow and and try to concentrate on running instead of breathing.
