Breathing rhythm of running

Maybe many of us don't know much about breathing while running, so we breathe randomly while running. Random breathing will only lead to two results. On the one hand, it may cause us great stomach pain, and on the other hand, it will greatly reduce the quality and level of our running. Therefore, it is very important for us to master some scientific breathing rhythms while running.

Breathing method:

There are two ways of breathing when running: one is to breathe only through the nose, and the other is to breathe through the mouth and nose together. If you want to run comfortably, it is most important to distinguish the stages and speed of running. When you first start running or run at a slow pace, your oxygen demand is small and can be met by breathing through your nose alone. If the temperature is low or you are running against the wind, you should breathe through your nose so that the air entering your lungs can be heated and humidified by your nasal hair and nasal mucosa, thus avoiding inhaled dust and bacteria that may cause cough, tracheitis, abdominal pain (commonly known as side stitches), stomach cold and other diseases. When running for a long time or at a faster speed, nasal breathing can no longer meet the body's need for oxygen. If you only breathe through your nose, it is easy to fatigue your respiratory muscles. At this time, you should open your mouth and breathe to relieve the pressure on your respiratory muscles. Of course, it is not good to open your mouth completely. It is best to open your mouth slightly, lightly bite your teeth, curl up the tip of your tongue, and slightly press it against the upper palate, allowing air to flow in and out from between your teeth. When breathing, be sure to keep your breathing even and rhythmic. Exhalation should be short and forceful, and inhalation should be slow, even, and of appropriate depth.

Breathing rhythm:

Coordinate breathing rhythm with pace When running, people are generally accustomed to adjusting their breathing rhythm freely according to their own needs. In fact, the breathing rhythm should be closely coordinated with the pace. The normal breathing rhythm for jogging is to exhale every 2 to 3 steps, and inhale every 2 to 3 steps, and keep your breathing even and deep. This way you will feel light when running. As the distance increases, body fatigue gradually becomes apparent. At this time, you need to slow down or stop and walk a few steps to adjust your breathing rhythm.

I believe everyone wants to know more about the breathing rhythm of running. The above content provides us with good guidance and suggestions. At the same time, we must master the scientific time when running daily. Running every day is a very good aerobic fitness exercise and can also improve physical fitness.
