Rhythmic breathing brings a focus to each inhale and exhale—and can cut injury risk too.
to a pace we’ve defined with numbers on a watch, we break that mind/body connection. We open up a gap where stress and tension can enter. And we create a disturbance in the flow of running that hinders our success and enjoyment.
To rely less on your chest muscles to breathe, you’ll want to train yourself to breathe from your belly, that is, with your diaphragm. Practice belly breathing both lying down and sitting or standing, since you should be breathing diaphragmatically at all times—whether you’re running, sleeping, eating, or reading a book. Here’s how to learn the technique:Focus on raising your belly as you inhale.
5. Concentrate on a continuous breath as you inhale over the 3 counts and a continuous breath as you exhale.Exhale on alternate footstrikes as you run. You never want to continually exhale on the same foot. It’s time to then switch to a 3-count, or 2:1, rhythmic breathing pattern: Inhale for two steps, exhale one, inhale two steps, exhale one. You’re breathing faster, taking more breaths per minute, and this odd-numbered breathing pattern will continue to alternate the exhale from left foot to right, dispersing the impact stress of running equally across both sides of your body.
How does it feel? Notice the depth and rate of your breathing. After 10 minutes, pick up your pace just a bit to an effort that requires you to breathe noticeably deeper while you continue to run within the 3:2 breathing pattern. You should still be able to talk with your running buddy, but you’ll be glad for those periods in the conversation when you get to just listen. Run at this pace for a few minutes and tune into your body, feel your breathing—your lungs expanding, your belly rising.

The best job-market fix you’ve never heard of: ‘occupational licensing reform’ may be having a momentNearly 30% of all jobs now require a license, up from 5% in the 1950s. That throws up barriers to entry, crimps competition, and keeps workers less mobile. Removing that license requirement is something politicians across the spectrum can agree on.
