Become a Runner Class, Day 5: Breathing – BRV 40

By Debbie Voiles

10-Day Become a Runner Class Day 5: BreathingThe single most common beginner runner complaint I hear is that they can’t breathe. Often new runners say they struggle to breathe because they feel like they’re breathing through a straw; they say they just can’t get enough air, and that’s a miserable sensation, right?

If you’ve ever been in that situation, you will find answers in this episode. That may be the number 1 problem that you know you must overcome to be a success, to be able to build endurance and, one day, run for miles, in comfort. It just makes sense, that if you can’t breathe, you can’t run very far, and you can’t be comfortable for even a few minutes. So, this is a problem we must fix and do it the right away.

For a more extensive discussion of this topic, please check out this earlier podcast episode:

How to Breathe When You Run – BRV 008

By Debbie Voiles

One of the most common concerns among beginner runners is that they struggle to breathe, often saying, “I can never seem to catch my breath” or “I feel like I’m breathing through a straw.” For many runners, it’s just a matter of learning how to breathe. Many, many people are still following the advice of an ill informed physical education coach from high school years. We’ve come a long way since then. Breathing while running is a huge issue for some runners. This episode will help.
