I am glad to hear this! Breathing through my nose is horrendously difficult due to my nasal polyps and asthma. It's especially annoying to have people correct my breathing while I'm running. We're all different, if I breathe through my nose I WILL pass out.
You likely have nasal polyps from years of mouth breathing. Mouth breathing is awful for your health, it leads to all sorts of sinus issues and wrecks your CO2 tolerance.
Did you ever find a cure for this? Mine suddenly started happening 6 years ago. Lost my sense of smell and its like having a cold 24/7. Had 2 surgerys and it was no help.
@@wildone106 Hi Neo, I had surgery for Nasal polyps and seemed to have a blocked nose with infected sinuses all year round. What pretty much cured me (I would say about 90% of my symptoms) was a few things. I had to drop all refined sugars, as these feed Candida Overgrowth and I found scaling back on wheat helped a lot (especially poor quality white bread and pasta). The next one will sound weird, I started taping my mouth shut before going to bed and made an effort to nose breath as much as possible. Rather than go into the reasoning in this comment ,have a search for the work of Patrick McKeown (he has a few talks on here).

I knew my breathing was bad but OH MY GOD, I was struggling for so long to run more than half a mile without feeling like I was going to collapse. Today though, after watching this video, I didn't just run a full mile without stopping, it felt like I could have gone another mile. For the first time my heart rate didn't just peak at 192, it averaged 180bpm across the whole run. Between my success running and the success I've had swimming thanks to the videos you guys put out I've never felt more confident in myself. Thank you so much for the effort you put into your videos, they have been a tremendous help to me.
2 strides inhale nose - 3 strides exhale through mouth as if blowing out a candle to delay the exhale. We might get in more air when we use the mouth for inhalation, but actually less oxygen is reaching the cells. The more and the faster you breath, the less oxygen is reaching the cells.
Exactly what I've been doing recently. I notice that sometimes I'll be breathing way faster than I need to at certain times, especially the beginning of a run.
Learned breathing from the stomach around 2015 and it has changed a lot certainly in running and hockey too. Definitely increases your energy in the long haul.
Great video Mark. I've been running for almost 10 years but it wasn't till recently that I found out about diaphragm breathing. What you've explained seems to be quite simple but largely unknown / ignored by amateur runners. So thank you for the video.
Great video guys! I remember when I started running, it felt like I couldnt get enough oxygen whilst running, even shortly after the start and my breathing was so loud, people could here me coming from meters away. And this was only due to the fact, that I was breathing through my nose. I stopped doing that after i watch a yt video and since then, I don't have to think about my breathing anymore, its just something I do automatically.
I couldn’t even walk for little long via breathing through my nose but now i can run miles with nose breathing, its all practice and it always feels impossible initially but you keep doing it and its all piece of cake.
After so many experiments of breathing while running finally I have fond breathing through my mouth keep me running longer and more pleasant. Like your video thank you.
Thanks for these tips. I'll try them out. I have been running 10k for 5-6 years now and I'm 60 years old. My breathing is always so hard! I'm always panting quite loud. It's embarrassing!
After doing muai-thai for a few years in the past my general thinking was that breathing through the nose is generally best; when the opponent starts breathing through their mouth it means they're tired, and you've got 'em! I've just started running recently and I try to use this same concept of breathing through the nose, at first, then when I start to get tired I breathe in through the nose and out the mouth, and when I've very tired it's in and out through the mouth, gasping for air! But I don't really like that because I usually run through a swarm of mosquitoes after about 2 seconds! I think our nose holes are pointed downwards for a good reason..
4:32 - about to go for my third run this week. Havent ran for over three years and just getting back into it. Breathing was a killer the first two times so will see if this can help. Thanks.
Ex Phys Nerd here.. : ) Nasal breathing can increase nitrous oxide amounts (from the paranasal sinuses) that then helps slow your breathing down which allows for additional O2 absorption in the lower more blood and alveoli-rich portions of your lungs. = You get more out of every breath you take.. Even if you're able to get more air into your lungs via mouth breathing, a majority ends up only getting to the upper and middle portions of your lungs = lower absorption rates and increased stress levels overall. Your brain then is telling you to try and breathe faster and faster to compensate, only furthering the inefficiency.. That's why when you watch some of the greatest like Kipchoge, he only really opens his mouth during the last couple miles as his effort significantly increases.. Work on breathing through the nose throughout the day and slowly incorporate it into your easier runs and I'd bet you'll start to see a difference.👍🏽 Great video none the less!
My breathing technique is breathe in through nose, hold for 2 seconds exhale through mouth. Then when I need to push myself ( change of pace/ inclined ) do the same and then breathe through mouth hold 1 to 2 seconds.

Disclaimer been running more frequently, however since carrying out breathing/ correct gear/ warm ups/ pace etc I've improved speed by 5 minutes.

Thank you for your useful advice! I've been practicing my breathing technique for some months now. I try keeping a steady pace but after 4-5 km breathing gets more difficult, breathing in from the nose and out from my mouth. Getting more oxygen seems nececarry, so I'll try your method.
This video has made the most sense out of hundreds of numpty breathing RUclips vids, that was almost impossible to do, or maintain, when running in duress, like up steep mountains. You two always seem to make the most sense.
Just starting running using an app to help. But my biggest issue has always been breathing. I may have been a chest breather but I have been researching breathing while running and it is still my biggest struggle.
Hi. I have always been told to inhale and exhale through the nose while running and that will build up stamina. I run 21K at 7min/KM pace and have been following that concept of breathing through nose only. What you told is totally in contrast, will try your way next time. Lets see how that works.
i definitely breathe better through my mouth, especially having chronic rhinitis. but i find as i breathe harder or for longer periods of time, my throat gets soooo dry! it's the main reason i want to carry water with me even though im hydrated. it'll get so dry it can be hard to swallow once i stop
I've finally mastered the trick of breathing through my mouth whilst running. The one issue I have now is that, when I am running and I feel under pressure or I feel as if I'm really tired I completely forget everything I said I'd do. When I said I'd make targets to run to, I don't do it, when i say I'd use this breathing technique, I don't do it. It's something I really need to improve now.
I get to a stage where I breath both in and out through my mouth. Giving a bit of a temporary throat problem. I do train in a rural area and have been told it could be hay-fever. I am over sixty and recently returned to distance running. Thank you for this. 🇬🇧
I am a recent ex smoker working on running....I get wheezy, panicked. So I'm going to try to just slow my pace and focus on my breathing like you suggested. I seriously hate running but I'm doing it for a church charity
I have just started out running and i am struggling so much with my breathing. I cant even run 500 metres without feeling like im having an asthma attack. Its a little but defeating but I'll give your tips a go and see if i improve 😊
Get a heart rate monitor and run at around 120-125 bpm. Learn to feel it and control it by micro speed up/down. As you get fitter you'll run faster at that tempo plus as you become accustomed to it you'll feel more comfortable running at a higher bpm and modulating speed/bpm yourself.
Just started couch to 5k. Very overweight and very out of breath . This is extremely helpful as I also have anxiety and struggle with rapid breathing anyway. Thank you for this.
A pulmonologist would concur that breathing through the nose is more beneficial for moist air to saturate the lungs. Not only does NOSE breathing provide more oxygen to the tissues, it doesn't accelerate water loss contributing to dehydration, increases the oxygen creating more energy, the cilia filter the air through the nose protecting us from billions of particles, regulates the workout by forcing us to stay at a comfortable pace for longer...etc. A simple test of these facts is to breath deep in through the nose which will expand the stomach and not your chest which is advantageous to getting the most out of workouts. Shallow breathing is the killer of workouts. Actually, you should breathe through your nose the entire time for the most efficient workout and the quickest recovery. Would enjoy overlooking where you obtained your research. The subject of breathing is fascinating.
Breathing changed my Life i swear. I mean idk how to explain i never thought about how the most basic thing like breathing correctly can liyerally change person’s life. My anxiety and stress is gone i used to have panic attacks, some times for over an hour now i live like a normal healthy person, it even helped me quit smoking i was a 2 pack a day for 15 years. Please spend some time learning on proper breathing it will change your life too.
Mouth-breather at any pace. I learnt my breathing rhythm from a fictional book about a hockey player, by Bengt-Åke Cras when I was 15. 1 longer inhale (over two strides) followed by two shorter exhale (on each of the following strides). Works well for me, and wow it would be difficult to change that after 18 years...
It works! It really does. I ran my normal route last week which is .9 miles and was exhausted after I knew it was my breathing (I was breathing in through my nose out through the mouth) so I decided to fix it. I used the technique in this video and it worked amazing you notice a big difference I was able to run it with less hesitation and faster
I breathe in over 4 steps and out over 4 and I go in through the nose and out through my mouth. It helps me with concentration, focus and rhythm on the run. That pattern only really breaks if I go over 90% effort.
Struggled with breathing my whole life broke my nose good few years ago but still trying to breathe through my nose and my legs cramp up pretty quick all the time whilst training enjoyed the video gonna try that technique 👍
To prevent asthma keep fingers crossed as a mudra. My chronic asthma with airway remodeling was cured with time. Do not neglect nose breathing. See also Jin Shin Jyutsu.
3/3 works wonders for me! It's tough to get used to in the beginning, and you have to keep your focus. My cadence and breathing are interlinked in a way; when I do the 3/3 breathing, my cadence naturally settles at 180-182 spm, but as I ramp up the intensity, my cadence shifts towards 200-205, and I have to adjust my breathing as well. At repetition pace I usually settle at 2/2, but sometimes I feel good breathing in for 2 strides and out for 3 strides. That's my experience anyway :D Thanks for the ul!
Well down side to breathing from your mouth is that you feel dehydrated very quickly. This is something I experience quite often, I don't what's an expert opinion on this
Before I gave much thought to it I used to breathe in through my nose till I couldn’t, then it was like okay I can only go so long now that I’m breathing through my mouth. Being consistent either method definitely helped, glad I found this
Oddly enough, one's CO2 LEVEL actually decreases with activity if one can ventilate and stay in an aerobic zone. This and a multitude of other factors may play into re-modulating the respiratory center.
Thanks for the video! Whenever I run with my friends I'm always the loudest. Just my big inhale and exhale makes me feel embarrassed. Hopefully this'll help!
I’m a big fan of the IN and OUT method of breathing, a bit old school I know! IV been told by my run breath specialist, and can see on my Garmin 801xr Runbreathometer (carbon version of course), that I could knock 0.001 sec off my Ironman time with the OUT and IN method, but it’s just not for me! 🙄😆
In the year 2014 I sustained a traumatic brain injury. Life changed dramatically but will congest my talking. Had special Neuropsychologists in and out rehabilitation along with every other expert teaching the belly breathing method. Finally went on my 1st run for 1 mile and wow only now I realise. My ambition and purpose is to live healthier and complete in a tough mudder event. Seriously need to practice and practice my breathing/sync whilst exercise. If anyone has any tips that they use or have heard to help functioning of breathing please drop comments.
I read on a forum that the correct way was breathing from nose only but upon trying it on practice i would die out quickly when running for long period of time, so then i tried with mouth breathing and i noticed how more oxigen allowed me to keep cool through more period of time, so id say when feeling the fatige while running use both nose and mouth to breath as it allows more oxigen in and wen exhaling use both also nose and mouth to replace air out faster
You should read James's Nestor "Breath": by breathing through the mouth we're not getting more oxygen in as you might think, we're actually depleting CO2 which is NOT just a useless byproduct of breathing, it playes a vital role in delivering oxygen to the tissues. In fact, you can hardly ever manage to lower your blood oxygen level by breathing through the nose no matter how slow you do it, since we never use all of the oxygen from our breath, most of it we exhale back. Yet by depleting co2 you are not allowing you tissues to absorb incoming oxygen. So the correct answer is this - breath through the nose, always. Not a single mammal except for humans (and dogs, but thats just for thermoregulation) breath through the mouth while running, and for a good reason. Good luck!
Anybody else get a massive amount of snot/spit build up and it makes you gag? I can't really spit it out because I mostly run for basketball inside. I already drink a whole bunch of water. Maybe it's my posture 🤷♀️ Any advise.
I don't know the problem myself but I just watched a video from TrainerRoad on YT titled something like "Does breathing through your mouth make you faster". One of those athletes (?) seems to be having the same issue and uses some nose spray, he talks about it in the beginning and someone in the comments wrote it out as well. I'm on mobile so can't look it up properly but I hope it'll help you.
Trying to use this as a way to get ready for my Police Department PT test next weekend. Gotta run 1 1/2 miles in under 15:54 min. Right now I can only manage it in roughly 19 min. Gonna see if this helps me.
I've read a little bit about the nose - mouth breating and it might surprise us. Nose breathing can help the lungs transfer 20% more oxygen to the blood. (something like that, more details in the book stated at the end of this comment). Although breathing through the mouth appears to give more oxygen its a little connected to the fact that we are breathing higher volumes of air, but because it is from the mouth, there's lower enchange air - blood. While when you breathe through the nose, the air is "prepared" to be more efficiently exchanged in to the lungs. Book source: Jaws: The Story of a Hidden Epidemic by Sandra Kahn (Author), Paul R. Ehrlich (Author)
What about the Bohr effect and the dissociation of oxygen from hemoglobin? If you exhale too much CO2 through your mouth, the tissues have a harder time getting the oxygen from the blood
Just my 2 Cents ...... for beginners:- it is most important to exhale all the CO2, so spend less time on inhaling fresh air and exhale either longtime (slow running) or shorttime, but with a definitive effort- unlike swimming, your breathing pattern does not have to match your movement pattern. This means you can exhale and inhale as you need independent on your strides. Actually, you should decouple your breathing rythm and your running. Your breathing will adjust automatically to what your body needs (slower rythm on slow runs, higher rythms on hard runs or steep tracks)- abdominal respiration is key!- shortage of breath couldbe due to muscle cells in your legs that are not sufficiently provided with blood (= oxygene) due to poor capillarization of your blood system. In this case, many to some muscle cells are supplied by their neigbour cells, not by the blood system directly. In this case, even short running sessions turn out to be anaerobic workouts. In cycling, this might not get much attention because you can include short pauses of idling and rollling while the muscle cells recover from oxygene shortcoming. But in running, you feel the lack and must walk or stop.- regarding breathing through nose or mouth: breathe so you can inhale / exhale the amount of fresh air / used air as you need!... for advanced runners:- consider a tool to train the muscles that are involved in breathing (e.g. Power Breathe) for hard sessions or races- consider a blood test to measure your ferritin (basic oxygene carrier) and ubiquinole (an electron carrier in the respiratory chain) and if necessary, supplement (maybe a topic for elderly athletes as myself)
Breathing in through the nose and breathing out through the mouth I thought was only a good idea in very cold enviremonts and mountain climbing with a lot of snow. (to reduce the coldness of the air and thus the overal colder temperature directed into your body) Through the nose goes slower than through the mouth and while running you just need way more oxygen at a faster pace, so it make sense to breath through the mouth while running.
Breathing through the nose conditions the air and also adds NO, which is a vasodilator, so you absorb O2 at a higher efficiency. Also nose breathing also makes you more CO2 tolerant. So when you hold your breath what makes you want to breath again is the buildup of CO2 in your body. Having a low tolerance means you'll 'feel' out of breath at low effort. I save mouth breathing as the final straw when i physically cant control it

i definitely breathe better through my mouth, especially having chronic rhinitis. but i find as i breathe harder or for longer periods of time, my throat gets soooo dry! it's the main reason i want to carry water with me even though im hydrated. it'll get so dry it can be hard to swallow once i stop
I've finally mastered the trick of breathing through my mouth whilst running. The one issue I have now is that, when I am running and I feel under pressure or I feel as if I'm really tired I completely forget everything I said I'd do. When I said I'd make targets to run to, I don't do it, when i say I'd use this breathing technique, I don't do it. It's something I really need to improve now.
I get to a stage where I breath both in and out through my mouth.
Giving a bit of a temporary throat problem. I do train in a rural area and have been told it could be hay-fever.
I am over sixty and recently returned to distance running.
Thank you for this. 🇬🇧
I am a recent ex smoker working on running....I get wheezy, panicked. So I'm going to try to just slow my pace and focus on my breathing like you suggested. I seriously hate running but I'm doing it for a church charity
Ask for godly help, he owes you if it’s for church 😁
I have just started out running and i am struggling so much with my breathing. I cant even run 500 metres without feeling like im having an asthma attack. Its a little but defeating but I'll give your tips a go and see if i improve 😊
I've gone on and off running a few times in my life and have always had to warm back into it with long fast walks first.
Get a heart rate monitor and run at around 120-125 bpm. Learn to feel it and control it by micro speed up/down. As you get fitter you'll run faster at that tempo plus as you become accustomed to it you'll feel more comfortable running at a higher bpm and modulating speed/bpm yourself.
Just started couch to 5k. Very overweight and very out of breath . This is extremely helpful as I also have anxiety and struggle with rapid breathing anyway. Thank you for this.
Really glad to you've started Couch to 5k - keep it steady and enjoy 🙂
A pulmonologist would concur that breathing through the nose is more beneficial for moist air to saturate the lungs. Not only does NOSE breathing provide more oxygen to the tissues, it doesn't accelerate water loss contributing to dehydration, increases the oxygen creating more energy, the cilia filter the air through the nose protecting us from billions of particles, regulates the workout by forcing us to stay at a comfortable pace for longer...etc. A simple test of these facts is to breath deep in through the nose which will expand the stomach and not your chest which is advantageous to getting the most out of workouts. Shallow breathing is the killer of workouts. Actually, you should breathe through your nose the entire time for the most efficient workout and the quickest recovery. Would enjoy overlooking where you obtained your research. The subject of breathing is fascinating.
I’ve been using Moon Breathing First Form: Dark Moon, Evening Palace it really helps a lot
I can't believe that Im watching a video on how to breathe 😂
This topic is not a joke tho.
Breathing changed my Life i swear. I mean idk how to explain i never thought about how the most basic thing like breathing correctly can liyerally change person’s life. My anxiety and stress is gone i used to have panic attacks, some times for over an hour now i live like a normal healthy person, it even helped me quit smoking i was a 2 pack a day for 15 years. Please spend some time learning on proper breathing it will change your life too.
@@t.a9638 2 a day for 15?! Wow. I'm so sorry.
Gai sensei why are you here? You don’t need to know how to breathe while running!! 😂😂
I know this place
Isn’t this Bath Skyline and Canals ? 😍
I started my running journey right there by the canals till Aquaduct 😅
Mouth-breather at any pace. I learnt my breathing rhythm from a fictional book about a hockey player, by Bengt-Åke Cras when I was 15. 1 longer inhale (over two strides) followed by two shorter exhale (on each of the following strides). Works well for me, and wow it would be difficult to change that after 18 years...
I’m never tired when running, I just have to stop for air. I’ve tried pushing through for months of running but it’s always the lungs that go first.
Best advice for me. Now have more confidence within. Thanks.
It works! It really does. I ran my normal route last week which is .9 miles and was exhausted after I knew it was my breathing (I was breathing in through my nose out through the mouth) so I decided to fix it. I used the technique in this video and it worked amazing you notice a big difference I was able to run it with less hesitation and faster
I breathe in over 4 steps and out over 4 and I go in through the nose and out through my mouth. It helps me with concentration, focus and rhythm on the run. That pattern only really breaks if I go over 90% effort.
Same here. It seems most natural to me, without additional efforts or forcing.
Struggled with breathing my whole life broke my nose good few years ago but still trying to breathe through my nose and my legs cramp up pretty quick all the time whilst training enjoyed the video gonna try that technique 👍
Doing couch to 5K. Week 4 run 2 I found that I couldn’t breathe on the second 5 minute run and had to stop. So this is helpful.
Thankyou, Ive been chest breathing and struggling even though I know I can do better.
Thanks for the educational and enjoyable video!
I recently started running and I have exercise induced asthma and this has really helped. Takes a while to get into it but practice make perfect.
To prevent asthma keep fingers crossed as a mudra. My chronic asthma with airway remodeling was cured with time. Do not neglect nose breathing. See also Jin Shin Jyutsu.
How do you prevent dry mouth when running for a long time if we need to breath through mouth?
I swish fluid around and spit it out as needed.
chewing gum for me hehe
I have jolly rancher when I am jogging. Helps
3/3 works wonders for me! It's tough to get used to in the beginning, and you have to keep your focus. My cadence and breathing are interlinked in a way; when I do the 3/3 breathing, my cadence naturally settles at 180-182 spm, but as I ramp up the intensity, my cadence shifts towards 200-205, and I have to adjust my breathing as well. At repetition pace I usually settle at 2/2, but sometimes I feel good breathing in for 2 strides and out for 3 strides. That's my experience anyway :D Thanks for the ul!
I have noticed a great improvement since I took your advice.👍

Thanks dude, now I know thunder breathing style. I can do fire ball jutsu now.
Well down side to breathing from your mouth is that you feel dehydrated very quickly. This is something I experience quite often, I don't what's an expert opinion on this
Lovecraftian Face same once I even threw up in the middle of the match because of that
Thanks man, this helped a lot.
Before I gave much thought to it I used to breathe in through my nose till I couldn’t, then it was like okay I can only go so long now that I’m breathing through my mouth. Being consistent either method definitely helped, glad I found this
Love the dramatic intro
Watching those videos about breathing, everybody talk about oxigen and nobody is talking about CO2...
Oddly enough, one's CO2 LEVEL actually decreases with activity if one can ventilate and stay in an aerobic zone.
This and a multitude of other factors may play into re-modulating the respiratory center.
*oxygen
Thanks for the video! Whenever I run with my friends I'm always the loudest. Just my big inhale and exhale makes me feel embarrassed. Hopefully this'll help!
I’m a big fan of the IN and OUT method of breathing, a bit old school I know! IV been told by my run breath specialist, and can see on my Garmin 801xr Runbreathometer (carbon version of course), that I could knock 0.001 sec off my Ironman time with the OUT and IN method, but it’s just not for me! 🙄😆
Finely good common sense information thank you 🤙🏾💯
In the year 2014 I sustained a traumatic brain injury. Life changed dramatically but will congest my talking. Had special Neuropsychologists in and out rehabilitation along with every other expert teaching the belly breathing method. Finally went on my 1st run for 1 mile and wow only now I realise. My ambition and purpose is to live healthier and complete in a tough mudder event. Seriously need to practice and practice my breathing/sync whilst exercise. If anyone has any tips that they use or have heard to help functioning of breathing please drop comments.
I read on a forum that the correct way was breathing from nose only but upon trying it on practice i would die out quickly when running for long period of time, so then i tried with mouth breathing and i noticed how more oxigen allowed me to keep cool through more period of time, so id say when feeling the fatige while running use both nose and mouth to breath as it allows more oxigen in and wen exhaling use both also nose and mouth to replace air out faster
no one:

You should read James's Nestor "Breath":
by breathing through the mouth we're not getting more oxygen in as you might think, we're actually depleting CO2 which is NOT just a useless byproduct of breathing, it playes a vital role in delivering oxygen to the tissues. In fact, you can hardly ever manage to lower your blood oxygen level by breathing through the nose no matter how slow you do it, since we never use all of the oxygen from our breath, most of it we exhale back. Yet by depleting co2 you are not allowing you tissues to absorb incoming oxygen.
So the correct answer is this - breath through the nose, always. Not a single mammal except for humans (and dogs, but thats just for thermoregulation) breath through the mouth while running, and for a good reason. Good luck!
How the heck do you run so light on your feet? You look graceful and light! When I run I feel like I'm causing earthquakes.
My nose always burns, I don't have a stuffy nose or a cold :(
this really helped me alot thank you so much ☺️
0:49 absolute madlad with that AOT merch
Anybody else get a massive amount of snot/spit build up and it makes you gag? I can't really spit it out because I mostly run for basketball inside. I already drink a whole bunch of water. Maybe it's my posture 🤷♀️ Any advise.
I don't know the problem myself but I just watched a video from TrainerRoad on YT titled something like "Does breathing through your mouth make you faster". One of those athletes (?) seems to be having the same issue and uses some nose spray, he talks about it in the beginning and someone in the comments wrote it out as well. I'm on mobile so can't look it up properly but I hope it'll help you.
@@panda1384 thanks! I'll make sure to watch it
I think its this video ruclips.net/video/PhBzmRrl3uA/видео.html
thanks, bro I can breathe now
New to running , working on couch to 5k ..Going to give al of this a try on my next run
Time to activate my breathing techniques like Tanjiro🤟🏾😂
Good thing I saw this video. That other time when I didn't know how to breathe I held my breath for 30 minutes while running.
Ngl been running for years and hoping this helps with my cardio in mma, start training next week
Thank you so much mate I just got my pb using this technique!
My breathing always screws me up, so thanks for this !
Trying to use this as a way to get ready for my Police Department PT test next weekend. Gotta run 1 1/2 miles in under 15:54 min. Right now I can only manage it in roughly 19 min. Gonna see if this helps me.
Good luck mate!
Good luck
I've read a little bit about the nose - mouth breating and it might surprise us. Nose breathing can help the lungs transfer 20% more oxygen to the blood. (something like that, more details in the book stated at the end of this comment). Although breathing through the mouth appears to give more oxygen its a little connected to the fact that we are breathing higher volumes of air, but because it is from the mouth, there's lower enchange air - blood. While when you breathe through the nose, the air is "prepared" to be more efficiently exchanged in to the lungs. Book source: Jaws: The Story of a Hidden Epidemic by Sandra Kahn (Author), Paul R. Ehrlich (Author)
you shouldn't breathin to your mouth that annoying feeling when your throats dry. it makes you thirsty all the time.
You're clearly dehydrated then
Have you tried... having a drink wiht you?
Maybe drink water?
What about the Bohr effect and the dissociation of oxygen from hemoglobin? If you exhale too much CO2 through your mouth, the tissues have a harder time getting the oxygen from the blood
0:50 person in the background was wearing an aot hoodie. Not irrelevant to the video I just wanted to point that out
Strong form while breathing
.
Being asthmatic its a real struggle...especially on a winters morning...hoping it'll just imporove but any tips welcome.
Just my 2 Cents ...... for beginners:- it is most important to exhale all the CO2, so spend less time on inhaling fresh air and exhale either longtime (slow running) or shorttime, but with a definitive effort- unlike swimming, your breathing pattern does not have to match your movement pattern. This means you can exhale and inhale as you need independent on your strides. Actually, you should decouple your breathing rythm and your running. Your breathing will adjust automatically to what your body needs (slower rythm on slow runs, higher rythms on hard runs or steep tracks)- abdominal respiration is key!- shortage of breath couldbe due to muscle cells in your legs that are not sufficiently provided with blood (= oxygene) due to poor capillarization of your blood system. In this case, many to some muscle cells are supplied by their neigbour cells, not by the blood system directly. In this case, even short running sessions turn out to be anaerobic workouts. In cycling, this might not get much attention because you can include short pauses of idling and rollling while the muscle cells recover from oxygene shortcoming. But in running, you feel the lack and must walk or stop.- regarding breathing through nose or mouth: breathe so you can inhale / exhale the amount of fresh air / used air as you need!... for advanced runners:- consider a tool to train the muscles that are involved in breathing (e.g. Power Breathe) for hard sessions or races- consider a blood test to measure your ferritin (basic oxygene carrier) and ubiquinole (an electron carrier in the respiratory chain) and if necessary, supplement (maybe a topic for elderly athletes as myself)
Breathing in through the nose and breathing out through the mouth I thought was only a good idea in very cold enviremonts and mountain climbing with a lot of snow. (to reduce the coldness of the air and thus the overal colder temperature directed into your body)
Through the nose goes slower than through the mouth and while running you just need way more oxygen at a faster pace, so it make sense to breath through the mouth while running.
thanks bro, i kinda suck at breathing, i have for quite a while, so this shoud help
Breathing through the nose conditions the air and also adds NO, which is a vasodilator, so you absorb O2 at a higher efficiency. Also nose breathing also makes you more CO2 tolerant. So when you hold your breath what makes you want to breath again is the buildup of CO2 in your body. Having a low tolerance means you'll 'feel' out of breath at low effort.
I save mouth breathing as the final straw when i physically cant control it
Practicing! Thanks a lot.
breathing in through your nose and out through the mouth is the healthiest but not the most effective hence...
Daan Hoogland what is the most effective then?
Quang Curry breathing in and out through nose.. its tough but achievable.
@@t.a9638, true...i still trying :))
Thanks
