How can you train your breathing for jogging?

Question

I walked very very long distances ever since a child but i have no endurance for running, my muscles dont get tired easily because of my walking habit but im out of breath very quickly....any tips on breathing exercises for the jogging concious

Answer 1

Start out doing short runs, 1/2 miles to 1 mile, everyday. After a week or two your lungs should have expanded and then you should be able to increase by 1/2 a mile to 1 mile... Soon you'll feel great when running.

Answer 2

If you have access to a local running track, go there and do this:
run as far as you can, then walk until you get your breath back. As soon as you get your breath back, start running again. Again, when you get out of breath, go back to walking. Do this for a total of 6 laps, which will be about 1.5 miles.

If you can do this at least every other day, you will find that you will be able to run longer and will need to walk less. Eventually, you will be able to run the whole 1.5 miles. At that point, you can increase the distance if you like.

If you don't have a track handy, perhaps you can measure the distance around the block where you live, or somewhere nearby. My block is exactly 1/2 mile, which is great for me. I know exactly how far I run if I decide to run laps there.

Best wishes!

Answer 3

Cardinal mistake: inhaling deeply consciously. Instead do this: exhale twice through the mouth consciously... automatically you will inhale through the nose as much as you need to (1x) and automatically just with those two exhalation- you will breathe abdominally. Continue this: exhale twice through the mouth- let inhalation follow naturally through nose... rhythm is: one, two-oooone,.... one,two-ooooone... etc... Try it. Right now. Put your hand on your stomach and exhale twice first- then feel your hand go up with the deep breath that will naturally follow...

Answer 4

Start out slow. I usually take a breath every fourth step at slower pace, every third step when I need to pick it up a little. Usually every fourth step works pretty well, plus it will help you develop a rhythm.

Answer 5

start off doing small runs, like around your block. for breathing try breathing in (your nose) for two footfalls and out (your mouth) for two. keep repeating this. the breathing pattern can also help you to set a speed.

Answer 6

start out with short runs and remeber 2 breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth that way you wont have chest problems and develoup asthma

Answer 7

Stabilize your breathingby taking the same time range to exhale as it is to inhale.
Two steps to inhale, two steps to exhale. (or three steps or four, depends on your endurance). Don't breath randomly.
You can do that also while resting; two seconds to inhale, two seconds to exhale. (or three or four).

Answer 8

in the nose, out the mouth.

Answer 9

as you increase your running distance your stamina will also increase for your lungs
