How to regulate breathing while running?

It is very important to regulate your breathing while running. Many people think that they did not regulate their breathing, which led to stomach pain while running. This may be caused by a stitch in the side. Regulating your breathing can also effectively improve your running quality and level. Let me introduce to you in detail how to regulate your breathing while running.

1. Change shallow breathing to deeper breathing, exhale slowly and deeply, and exhale forcefully. This will allow you to inhale a large amount of air to meet the oxygen needs during exercise, relax your respiratory muscles, and eliminate pain.

2. Adjust your breathing rhythm and coordinate it with your running frequency, so that you can breathe in and out every two steps or every three steps.

3. If the pain cannot be relieved by the above methods, take a deep breath and hold your breath, tap the painful areas on both sides of the chest or under the ribs, and then take slow, deep breaths. Repeat several times to gradually relax the respiratory muscles and relieve spasms.

4. Before strenuous activity, do warm-up exercises to allow the respiratory muscles to gradually adapt to a faster frequency of contraction to avoid spasms.

5. When exercising in winter, try to breathe through your nose. If you breathe through your mouth, keep your mouth half open to allow cold air to enter your mouth through the gaps between your teeth to prevent excessive stimulation from the cold air.

After the "stitch in the side" is eliminated, you can continue to engage in physical activities without any harm or impact on your body.

We should regulate our breathing during running according to scientific methods. We can exhale after two steps and inhale after two steps. This is the most basic, simplest and also the most scientific running method. It is suitable for beginners. Professional athletes must understand some more professional running breathing methods.
