You mean:
Lunges
Standing tall both feet together (starting position)
Keeping the back straight lunge forward with the right leg approx 1 to 1½ metre
The right thigh should be parallel with the ground and the right lower leg vertical
Spring back to the starting position
Repeat with the left leg
12 to 16 repetitions on each leg
But you'll also need to increase the strength of the glutes and hamstrings for greater hip extension power, and by strengthening the quadriceps for greater eccentric load control, making sure the core musculature is strong for the extremities to have a greater foundation to work from, thus you'll be able to handle an incresae stride distance if yo go changing your form.
Exercises:
Lateral knee drive run-run controlled sideways with a quick high knee drive of the back side leg. The arms will be out stretched to the sides at shoulder level. The goal is to strengthen the knee drive while eliciting a greater response from the adductor, internal rotator, and hip flexor musculature of the back side leg. The lead leg musculature will eccentrically reduce unwanted abduction during planting.
Lateral step together- Attach the tubing to a post and place it around the inside of the nearest leg to the post. The athlete will simply step toward the post followed by bringing that leg back together with the other leg. This exercise should be done with a squatting motion when the leg is abducted and adducted. This will work many levels of the adductor musculature.
high-bench step-up: develops the hamstrings, with complimentary development of the gluteals (the 'buttock' muscles) and the quadriceps.

Begin from a standing position on top of a high bench (approximately knee height), with your body weight on your left foot and your weight shifted toward the left heel
The right foot should be free and held slightly behind the body
Lower the body in a controlled manner until the toes of the right foot touch the ground, but maintain all of your weight on the left foot
Return to the starting position by driving downward with the left heel and straightening the left leg
Repeat for the prescribed number of repetitions, and then switch over to the right leg
Maintain absolutely upright posture with the trunk throughout the entire movement, with your hands held at your sides (with or without dumbbells)
Frequency: 2 to 3 times a week - 2 to 3 sets of 15 to 20 repetitions - 2 to 3 minutes recovery
One-leg squat: develops the quadriceps and gluteals, with a complimentary boost to the hamstrings.

Stand with the left foot forward and the right foot back, with the feet about one shin-length apart (your feet should be hip-width apart from side to side)
Place the toes of the right foot on a block or step that is six to eight inches high. As in the step-up exercise, most of the weight should be directed through the heel of the left foot
Bend the left leg and lower the body until the left knee reaches an angle of 90 degrees between the thigh and lower leg
Return to the starting position, maintaining upright posture with the trunk and holding your hands at your sides
Complete the prescribed number of repetitions with the left leg before switching to the right leg
Frequency: 2 to 3 times a week - 2 to 3 sets of 15 to 20 repetitions - 2 to 3 minutes recovery

Lateral band walks- Using a tubing/band that can be places around the ankles or above the knees, the athletes will simply walk laterally for a distance of 15-25 yards. This will put great contractions on the abductor muscles that surround the hip joint.

As a small-step runner I recognise the sensation of short of an extended, leaner, extra efficient stride. However, after ten years of attempting I've given up on that dream. My legs and frame had been simplest intended to take a detailed duration stride and I ought to manage that. Attempts to develop your stride may also be made with slow develop however you'll no longer see a colossal change on the grounds that your frame would possibly not natually be in a position to manage the extended stride dimension. There is plenty of skills for knee and hip damage when you push your stride too lengthy. That's to not say you should not take a look at, simply watch out and do not assume an excessive amount of. Good good fortune!

do u mean lungs? why not try altitude training? seriously though, just general aerobic training will make your respiratory system more efficient. & lots of mobility exercises & stretching will help increase your stride length
