The most important thing during your run is to feel good while doing it. Try to focus on a breathing pattern and see how you feel when running. If the breathing pattern works for you, this will help you set better goals to constantly challenge yourself and run farther distances. Also, focusing your mind on the pattern can cause you to appreciate your running moment and not let it be ruined by stressed thoughts. Since meditation is a big part of the running process, your routine should provide you with peace and refreshment. Take your time to develop proper breathing habits as they are not learned in one day. With time, practice, and focus, breathing techniques will become like second nature to you. Before you know it, you’ll be maximizing your performance, running longer, and recovering faster than ever!
