Answer 1

its best to work through it b/c your breathing will get better allowing you to go even faster. When I am running I am always very out of breath, its a matter of determination and will power. Other girls who are in better shape than me breath much more calmly when they run at the same pace as I am. Your pain limits will get better as will, you should never stop to walk if you can help it. But right now it sounds like your suffering from what i call "out of shape" breathing and running. ONce you get in better shape it should be easier. So for now focus on making sure you dont stop to walk, jog as slow as you need to but dont walk or you wont get better.

Answer 2

You may have asthma or a form of chronic bronchitis that is triggered by physical activity. Since you feel this within just a few minutes of running, this should be ruled out first.

If those tests come out okay, then the problem is that your lungs aren't well conditioned and you are having to breathe so deeply that it causes irritation and dryness in your lungs. Next time try to warm up with a fast walk first, then remember to breathe through your nose, which provides humidity to the air before it reaches the lungs.

Answer 3

It might have to do with the way you are breathing. You should breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth. You might want to see a doctor though if your lungs feel like their burning and that doesn't help. I've never felt burning in my lungs when I ran, but I would have a sharp pain run through them. That was because of my breathing though.

Answer 4

See a doctor to rule out any health conditions like asthma or bronchitis. If the doctor says you can run then start out slowly and work your way up to longer runs. First, always warm up with a brisk walk and then stretch your muscles before you run. Run only five minutes a day and at least three times a week to start. Add five minutes to your run time each week. When you feel your walk/stretch/run routine is easy, then add more days a week to your exercise plan.

Answer 5

I breathe through both. mouth and nose. I find that that is how I get the most air in my lungs. I have tried breathing just through my nose, doesnt do it for me. Are your starting off to fast? Do you have a HRM? you should only be running 60-80% percent of your maximum heart rate. up to 85% for a very fit person.

Answer 6

You're just running too fast for your fitness level. You gotta relax and remember that running is a journey, not a destination.

Slow down for now, only run at a pace that allows you to talk. That's your training pace. After a month of this base running, then think about 10x100s on the track once a week.

Good Luck

Answer 7

Breathe in through your nose, filling your lungs to capacity. Breathe out through your mouth, emptying your lungs. This may take a while to condition your lungs to adapt to this way if you haven't been breathing properly during jogging, or any type of exercise.

Answer 8

Try breathing in through your nose. It seems like you cant do this while running, but you can train yourself to do this and it takes in more air than through your mouth.

Answer 9

don't run in cold weather. don't breathe with your mouth open when you're starting out... after a while you can i think.


but i think if you can run for only that short amount of time, i think you should see a doctor just in case. but i know ppl don't like to go see doctors.. so... yea...

Answer 10

Breathe threw your knoes instead of your mouth when you are running.
