How To Breathe While Running | IMMEDIATE IMPROVEMENT 

Agree. We must lift each other to be healthier.

Came here to say I'm stealing it, but not really. I hope to always remember who said the quotes I like to use, but of course I'm only human lol.

@@TheRunExperience Will do, thanks.

.

lol!

Lol my thoughts exactly

Hahahahahaha

The government is watching u👀

😂😂😂😂😂

thank you very much

Didn't put which distance each strategy is for

​@@Aliens-Are-Our-Friends2027Why didn't you just add it instead of being an ungrateful cow?

@@Aliens-Are-Our-Friends2027ik this is late but the guy literally put timestamps be quiet

@@kdog4215 The idea behind his comment is to have concise, useful notes so we don't have to watch the video again, isn't it? Tf you're telling someone "be quiet" when they point out that a crucial information is missing. What a way to display your insecurities while being in the wrong.

for me its acc the other i can breath so easily but my legs tired tbh this only happened since I switched to barefoot shoes its almost like my legs got more springy, ig a lot of kinetic energy got lost to the cushion of the shoe soles

​@@guybarel9798do you recommend running with the feet shoes? Are they good

Same. Like lungs are set on fire

⁠@@chunklum3636your muscles will have to absorb much more shock so you increase the likelihood of getting shin splints

I think I read somewhere that's a sign of dehydration. Also, breathing in your nose and out your mouth can help.

Start by setting goals don't try to go all out at the same time try running a certain distance and keep increasing it periodically there was a point where I barely could run a mile Now I run 7-8 miles by try running 2-3 days a week have a good diet (it's very imp) and also observe and track your improvement I am telling you once you get consistent you will feel good and would want to run everyday

I have been stuck trying to break 25 min on a 5k so far just above 26 so I think I need to just enjoy the presses and back it down 2 to 3 runs per week instead of 5 or 6 . Thanks for all the great advice.

Just don't quit

For me, I saw improvement and legitimate enjoyment in running when I started treating it more like a sport than a workout. I set long and short term goals for distance and pacing and deadlines of when to hit my own mini milestones until it became routine. I think the key is to set goals that are difficult enough to be a challenge but not so difficult that they are demotivating and unattainable.

@@cl20999 That sounds about right make it fun. And now I’m going to take that to heart thank you

Appreciate the feedback. A great book

Hoorah Motivator!

Good luck on your PFT's!!! You got this!

@@topkek1315 thank you so much! My test is on April 5th 🙂

Merchant Marine Academy? i’m currently trying to get my running better for my West Point/ Annapolis CFA😂. I’m at like a PR of a 7:50 mile

Rah sir good luck!!

that's a great technique!

I do it the exact same way! 👍now since 3 month practicing. I developed 3 "nose-paces" which are all slow (4 steps in and out for recovery, 3 steps in and out endurance pace and 2 steps in and out uphill) But as a lifetime mouthbreather I still struggle with faster paces . e.g. tempo pace is impossible for me to use nose breathing neither in nore out ☹

U need to take deep breaths and hold at regular intevals to maintain the Carbon dioxide balance .U should actually start by breathing in intevals and when u can breathe any more nasally go back to regular breathing and after about 3 to 5 minutes start again

I've watched a number of videos, and this one omits an extremely salient element of efficient exhalation: *pursed lips* He's doing it on the treadmill 4:23 , but never draws attention to it. pursed/compressed lips on exhalation increases the O2 partial pressure and drives more oxygen through the alveoli barrier into the bloodstream. Neither does anyone seem to be paying attention in the comments.

​@@-danRI came here to ask about this. Is he indeed breathing out his mouth/through the lips, opposed to breathing out through the nose?

Thanks for commenting- how did the marathon go?

🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

I have a random tip for those side stitches. I don't know if it's scientifically correct, but it has worked for me for years. I told my friend about it and it worked for him too. Pinch and pull the skin on the area you're aching and hold it. You do have to run with only one arm pumping, but about after a minute or two, the pain goes away. Lol

@@chuy8hansolo ill try it out

​@@chuy8hansoloGotta try if they come again then.

I also often geting that fckn stitches at first 2 km. To get rid of it, I just concentrate to my breathing and synchronize it with my step. Sometimes I event count my breath to really focus on it.. After 20-30 breath the stitches is gone

side stiches are a result of bad breathing patterns. Always exhale when you put your left foot down. This is the first thing I learned in cross country and it really does help. If I remember correctly, its because of how the diaphram is shaped, and exhaling on your left foot gives it the most room i.e. it cramps less

Thanks for the feedback. Keep up the great work

Just working on some regular patterns to aid performance

Slow nasal breathing helps stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system which helps keep the body & mind in a calmer state. I’ve used nasal breathing on longer runs to lower the heart rate & decrease perceived exertion. Thanks for commenting

Good for you. Nose breathing is the only right way to breathe. Mouth breathing is unnatural and puts a lot of stress on your body. Mouth breathing may make you faster in some instances, which had its place in training

@@GTE_Channel when I breathe through my nose, I get bad side pain/cramps. Ever since I started breathing through my mouth it’s gone away.

@@mgoldenboyz7942 is that during exercise or do you also get this during normal daily activities?

You exhaling through your nose or mouth?

Thanks for feedback

Sounds like a great individualised approach. Thanks for commenting

THANKS TO YOU I CAME 2nd PLACE

Thanks for feedback and go well with the half

Wow. That is awesome. We love to hear feedback like yours! Well done.

Nice summary

Thanks for your feedback

Glad we could help!

Thanks for feedback

Hope the camp goes well.

Boot

How has it gone since u watched this video ?

Same bro

same here

Let us know how you go

Thanks for the feedback

Why is it you get lightheaded ? Is it because you are breathing thru your mouth

Christchurch is a great city! I spent my high school years there. How did the half go?

Lmk how it goes

Go well!

Awesome. Thanks for commenting and looking forward to having you as part of the Run Experience team!

Good luck! Thanks for commenting

It’s more crucial to use the nose on the inhale. I breath out both my nose and mouth. Thanks for commenting

@@EverFITcoach Thanks for responding. Yeah I have been practicing exhaling out my nose and mouth to see which I prefer. I have noticed that inhaling through my nose has helped sustain my runs. Thanks for the video.

Running 10k at 75 is mad impressive!

How did the 5k go ?

Well done! Let us know how you go

yeah you'll get side stitches otherwise

wtf

Thanks for feedback

Thanks for the feedback

Same for me. I also recommend mouth taping during sleep

I think (imo) nose running should be the standard for breathing as it promotes using deeper breathes form the diaphragm. Whereas mouth breathing can be effective giving you extra volumes of breath but you won’t be training the diaphragm to breath better, and also may promote inefficient breathing patterns (such as breathing from the chest, tensed). Just my take :)

As the intensity increases you may have to cross over to some mouth breathing- try to stick to nose breathing for as much as possible

Thanks for the feedback Bill

You should be slowing down your pace. nose breathing can feel uncomfortable at first. gradually speed up over time, eventually it will feel easier!

@@TheRunExperience thanks you for the advice

@@TheRunExperience I solely nose breathe, it’s taken time to transition and definitely merited slowing down. But now it’s been an adaptation and my pace has definitely adapted. Nose strips have been pretty unreal in helping with sinus congestion 🙌🏻

I've used both 4/4 and 3/3 on runs, depending on effort or terrain. I feel bilaterally comfortable with both sequences. I feel as long as your head and torso are stable, odd or even sequences won't make a difference.

Thanks for feedback

Thanks for the kind feedback!

I have asthma. I needed my inhaler every run, and nearly passed out at the end of several races. (5k- half marathon) I switched to 50ks, which required me to actually slow down. I'm not a fast runner any more, so my ego was pushing me to run as fast as I could all the time. Once I slowed, I started practicing nose breathing on my easy runs. I find the 4 in 4 out via nose on flats, 3/3 on minor hills or when slightly faster, and then 2/2 with the exhale through the mouth, gets me through most speeds and hills. When I'm sprinting or doing serious hills, and breathe through my mouth, it's almost like getting an energy boost when I need it! And I haven't touched my inhaler in a year except for a brutal mountain race. (Though it's always with me. ) Give it a try, just ease in, I remember it took about 3 weeks of adding a few minutes to each run before I was comfortable.

@@Kelly_Ben Hi Kelly, astma here. Can i talk to you about running, i want to do it but apparently i dont knwo how to breathe.

Just keep going. Stay within capacity, be consistent, and you will go far

Glad we could help!

Let us know how you go.

Absolutely. Try slowing breathing rate and try inhaling through your nose.

We are sedentary and getting sicker as we sit and look at screens rather than move in nature.

Thanks for your feedback

Thanks for feedback

What’s the result bruh? You died? Went in a coma?

Start slower even with a walk and build up time

Our pleasure

Brilliantly stated. Thanks for pointing that out

Your in wrong place go n watch shorts😂

Keep practicing it. Like any skill it will become easier the more you employ it.

Thanks for commenting

How can you measure peripheral O2 percentage when you are out running ?

My pleasure
