When running, proper breathing is one of the easiest ways to get more out of your run, feel better from your exercise, and lower your risk of injury. Sometimes runners get bogged down with thoughts of daily life and lose focus on their breathing, which is not only unpleasant but also hard on your body. A comfortable breathing rhythm can help you run faster and increase your endurance. Proper breathing technique will provide more oxygen to your blood, which means more oxygen goes to your muscles. All of these factors can increase your energy and stamina. Your breathing form will also improve your post-run recovery, helping you to feel better, faster. Here are a few ways you can concentrate on proper breathing technique while running.
