Question

How should I breathe while jogging and while swimming?

Community Answer

For jogging, try to inhale as much air as you can through your nose, and exhale it quickly through your mouth. Keep it at an even pace. You will eventually find yourself having to take larger and quicker breaths because your body is becoming tired and you are accumulating oxygen debt; when you do reach that point (usually when you find it difficult to talk), it is best to find an area to sit down and regain your breath. When you feel you are ready, start jogging again. For swimming, take quick gulps of air at regular intervals and remember to actually inhale. During a front crawl, usually when you raise your arm you can also raise your head. Exhale underwater. Always rest if you are too tired.
