Hey!

I have recently joined the ARMY and am having a hard time running. I am 30 years old and in ok shape, but when I run I do not breath properly. Any suggestions??

Thanks....

The breathing thing comes with practice, or so it was for me. As you continue to push yourself to run, you will fall into a natural rhythm.

Not sure how much this can help:



Breathing to Cadence:

For some of the more disciplined runners, try a cadence per inhale & exhale. Cadences can be described as steps per inhale, followed by steps per exhale. Most elite distance runners do a 2-2 (2 steps per inhale and 2 steps per exhale) in the beginning of the race and finish on a 2-1 cadence (2 steps per inhale - 1 step per exhale). If you find that you’re getting cramps or light-headed with a 2-2 cadence, try a 3-3 cadence or vary the foot that you’re starting with. If that doesn’t work relax your pace to the point where your breathing is not labored.

cheers!
