How do you run? I have never really ran in my life, correctly anyway. From what I've heard, you put your foot down right in front of you, like between your legs when you step, and you should land on your heel. How is this possible? Also, how do you breathe better so you don't run out of breathe? I usually do in like a minute and a half. I do wheeze from time to time, though I doubt that has anything to do with it.

Run slower.

Always land on the ball of your feet and take tall short steps. Kind of like pedaling a tiny bicycle. Not conventional to some people, but it's a hell of alot better than running like a little kid or zombie

What the fuck is wrong with you people. First you can't drink WATER, the most essential liquid in the world, and now you can't RUN? Seriously, what the hell?

If you land on your heels it's fast jogging at best. It takes all of the muscle tension you need to be using out of your foot and calve. It's also bad for your shins and knees. If you want to run fast you need to put your feet back on the ground fast in short strides. I did this pic earlier to try to illustrate.

Steps need to be under your center of mass, ie directly in front of each other. Otherwise you are wasting effort moving your body side to side. You also want to keep your body almost straight up instead of overly leaning forward. Check for a youtube 100 metre video or something.

See page 5 for Instructions on how to breathe.

Seriously? WTF is going on here?

Very few people know how to run. I'm interested in any insights people might have on breathing.

Actually breathing is very important and is as worthy of having threads about it as how to do SQUATZ properly.

I never got a manual when I was born, who knows what we could learn to do better.

The more basic and common a human action or ability is, the more benefit you'll get from doing it right.

I've never really heard of a "Correct" way to run, But then agian I've never really found the need to do the research on it. I've always had a 21 min. 3 mile run and I don't apply a special technique, Other than breathing. Breathing was pretty rough at frist, I've always heard of the "Breathe in w/ Mouth; Breathe out w/ nose". Apperently this way cause more oxygen in, but doesn't allow all the mositure in you breath out, This way your mouth doesn't get dried out while running.

And you were told this by your gym teacher in 6th grade?

A little oddity here, I breathe through my mouth because I get headaches when I breathe through my nose (like, zomgwtf?), but when I occasionally nose-breathe, I seem to last a little longer. Something about allowing yourself to gasp for air sucks the energy right outta me.

As for running, landing on the heel is WAY too much impact for my tastes. I land on my toes. It relieves the stress on my shins and actually makes my calves feel a little better while making me more springy. Plus it's quieter in the gym <.<

Oh come on, guys. Asking how to run and breath properly while running can't be that strange.
I've been wondering exactly the same questions as OP.

Do pursed lip breathing when exhaling, like a person with COPD.

It keeps more air in your lungs for a longer period of time, since your natural instinct is to breath fast and shallow while exercising.

I heard and tried taking a deep breath over two steps holding for two steps and then exhaling over two steps works. It worked for me but, It took alittle too much getting used too, to be effective for me.

Look up "breath," "breathing" and/or "breathing exercises" in google

I'd post more info, but I'm still learning and practicing myself. There's a lot of interesting and helpful results, imo.
