Take walking breaks when you feel out of breath, then start running again when you can breathe.  Keep repeating for your whole workout.  After a few weeks, you'll be able to run a couple of miles without having to stop.\n\nAs you train, work hills into your route.  Hills really help build up your strength.  \n\nAre you running too fast?  Your running pace should allow you to talk without discomfort.

go to the doc and ask for a stress test.. you should'nt get short of breath so easily... it could be heart related but could also be anxiety related too.. go get it checked out!

You can expand your lung capacity via aerobic training (sprint repeats, interval training, hill workouts, fartlek, etc).\n\nIncrease your endurance by increasing the base mileage you run and your long run for the week.  If you put in an avaerage of 40 miles a week, with a 10 miler as your long run, then increase it to 41 miles with an 11 miler as your long run for the next week.  I've found that 10% or less increments in your long run work best, followed with a backing down of the mileage every 3rd week to allow for recovery (do only 30 miles that week, with a long run of only 8 miles).  Most importanyly, when you're trying to increase your endurance, listen to what your body is telling you, and don't overdo it.  If you do, you'll surely be off your feet longer than you'd want to if you hurt yourself.\n\nGood luck, and enjoy your runs!

Everyone is different.  You will have to know how to breath correctly as well.  Try to do most of your exercising outdoors.\n\n  I did a lot of mine on the treadmill 4-8 miles at one time and when I went out doors to exercise, I thought that I would die and I had not even jogged 1 mile.\n\nWithin  a couple of weeks I was jogging in the heat for 6 miles at a time.  Stick with it, it will come.

Hey! I am in track as well. Sure, I am kinda fast...but not super fast. \nIf I were you I would stay after practice and do more running. Be sure to drink lots of aqua as well! Even if your sides hurt keep running. That way you will build endurance. \nI sure hope you improve.

well...first things first. Drink alot of fluid perferably water. Drink the fluid all day b4 u have 2 run the mile. Then when the time comes...remeber slow and steady at first to keep ur body under controll. After that, near the end u will be able 2 finish up strong. Breath in through ur nose and out of ur mouth. This is circulated breathing and u should make it to the end within 10 min. To test it out...try it one day when u have free time and see if it works. U could also practice by going half a mile and slowly increasing it. B4 u know it...you'll score BIG time!!!

You breathe in and out anywhere from 15 to 25 times per minute without even thinking about it. When you exercise, your breathing rate goes up -- again, without you thinking about it. You breathe so regularly that it is easy to take your lungs for granted. You can't even stop yourself from breathing if you try! \n\nYour lungs are complex organs, but what they do is take a gas that your body needs to get rid of (carbon dioxide) and exchange it for a gas that your body can use (oxygen). In this article, we will take a close look at how your lungs work and how they keep your body's cells supplied with oxygen and get rid of the carbon dioxide waste. We will explain some of the conditions and diseases that make breathing harder and cause the lungs to fail. We will also explain why you can't hold your breath for a long time and why you cough or hiccup. \n\nThere is alot more at this web site.  Good luck!\nhttp://science.howstuffworks.com/lung.htm

You are gonna get a lot of answers saying to hold your breath, but that only works sometimes and not with every person. Try holding an ice cube to your throat for about 20 to 30 seconds. Also try holding your nose while you take big gulps of water.

Before you can get fast you have to have a strong base. Start by going on longer runs, maybe 4 or 5 times a week. And stretch nightly. Continue do build up your endurance for about a month or so, along with lifting weights... its important that you have a strong core, so do a lot of abdominal exercises. To become faster it wont happen over night, treat your body like your temple and make friends with your running shoes.

Take a breather between runs.  You might be causing oxygen debt, in other words you may be using too much energy at a time so your muscles aren't regulating their chemicals fast enough, depriving your legs. I'd say try cutting down the amount of mileage, or try running every other day to every two days.  But you don't want wait too long between, you don't want any lactic acid build up either.  That's why I think a shorter run on a regular schedule would work best for you.

the only thing that ever has worked for me was that old trick of holding your breath for 20-30 seconds.  Other than that, I really don't know.  It's your diaphragm having spasms....weird!

Try walking the rest of the distance when you can't run anymore.  Gradually increase the time that you run. It's gonna be hard at first.  You got to use your mind to push your body.\n\nTry slowing down the run a little bit.  It will increase the length of your run.\n\nYOU CAN DO IT!

Drink 10 little sips of water without taking a breath.  Works for me everytime.\nGood luck!

Making yourself faster is tough. The best thing to do is to concentrate on quickness rather then long distances, build up your resperatory system so that you can move quicker. Try doing "turn" drills and when you do run sprints, which you will need to do, work on extending your stride, not matter how short or tall if you can use every inch of your leg length and move your legs faster, that will make you a faster runner

In through the nose, out through the mouth. Make sure you're breathing from the belly, or else you will get abdominal cramps.\n\nA runner's breathing technique often involves "cadence breathing" where you breathe OUT on the left foot strike and IN on the right foot push off. That's where the military cadence comes from "left, left, left, right, left". If you say that while you run, you will help improve your breathing technique.

No....your breathing rate doesn't jump that fast...and if you've been running for a while, you'll be exhaling as fast as you inhale....
