Breathing patterns struggling whilst running? When running it's important to find the right breathing pattern. Correct breathing is very important for our body's energy levels, its ability to transport energy and oxygen and keeping us alive and kicking. A breathing pattern in every sport has a rhythm and being in tune with this rhythm is essential for good breathing. The reason for good breathing is easy: oxygen transports fuel around the body keeping your muscles replenished for longer. Also it helps remove any byi-product waste from our muscles.

This at the same time will work your abdominals whilst running, incorporating more muscle action into the movement. First find your pattern: every two steps inhale and then every two steps exhale.
