How to solve the problem of shortness of breath when running?

Running is a very simple and effective sport. You can go out for a run whenever you have time in your daily life. You don’t need to run for a long time or a long distance, as long as your body gets proper exercise. After all, you don’t have to be professional. So, some friends are out of breath when running, and feel like they can't breathe. How can they solve this problem?

1. Slow down

If we are novices, this often leads to breathing difficulties! So we must not pursue speed and distance too much. The faster you run and the longer the distance, the greater the demand for oxygen!

At this time, the oxygen we inhale is not enough to support the body's needs. If we demand too much, we will often have problems with shortness of breath and panting, which greatly affects the running experience. Many people give up halfway for this reason!

So we'd better slow down, don't rush, take it slow, and let the body have a process of adaptation! Only in this way can our body gradually become stronger and the amount of oxygen inhaled gradually increase!

2. Multi-mode

Running is a good aerobic exercise, but aerobic exercise is not limited to running. We should take a variety of aerobic exercises to exercise our respiratory muscles!

For example, swimming, cycling, and walking are not very intense, but they are very beneficial for strengthening the respiratory muscles. This can speed up our adaptation to running breathing and make our respiratory muscles stronger!

3. Advanced training

In fact, we can't just limit ourselves to running. We should do more muscle strength training and try high-intensity interval training. These movements consume a lot of oxygen. As long as we persist, it will be very beneficial to improve our lung capacity!
