looks like a lot of experienced runners here.

 

if TS don;t mind me borrowing this thread...can i ask how do fellow bros/sis here train for marathon?

 

For me. I usually train in the night, whereas it is much cooler.

Sometimes I will jog around my area leisurely.

Otherwise, I will one-step jog up the staircases of my block.

 

You training for Standard Chartered 2009?

because of my wife's work schedule and kid school hols, i have been going on our annual hols around the SC marathon dates.

 

But i am not fit for a full marathon yet. So i am working towards Army half marathon next year.

 

Also, I just went for me medical checkup and this time, included a test to check for any heart disease. so many of these unexplained deaths recently.

Oh I see. You first try the 10km loh..

Basically, you cannot force yourself to continue running one.

If really tired, just walk. No one just laugh at you one.

after 42km, legs blisters like crazy. leg muscles pain for 3days, really walking like a crab.

Don't think there is a scientific answer. I use mouth in nose out. Take in large amount of air fast, slowly let them out. Logic is to let body have time to exchange air in lung.

Neutral Newbie

Have been running for so many years, but never really take note of how i breathe... Will take note of that during my long run today... [laugh]

 

From memory, usually mouth + nose in, nose out...

 

Actually it all depends on your pace and distance as well, i don't think many people can last a long distance using nose in / nose out method.

 

Breathing rhythm is very important as well... breathe long and deep, exhale fast...

Usually I breathe as I would when im not running. Just breathe faster. Your thread title quite funny on its own.

 

Already realised the mistake in the title 2 seconds after creating the thread and mentioned it in 1st post.

It depends on your own level of fitness actually... that determines which breathing style is optimal.

 

If you do a 'nose-in', chances are that you won't intake enough air/oxygen, then there is more anaerobic metabolism going on in your muscles, leading to faster buildup of lactic acid, followed by cramps, fatigue, etc. You may be jogging, but it's going to feel like sprinting.

 

Important thing is to take in enough oxygen, slow down the accumulation of lactic acid, then you'll have more endurance. Jogging or long-distance running is an aerobic exercise after all. If you do 'mouth-in', 'mouth-out' and worry about drying up, then just bring enough water along with you.

As some said here: its all depend what types fo running you are going for - 1/2 to 1 hour jog or just 10-11min 2.4km run.

Regardless if you are newbie or 'low chiao' - the pace and breathing timing is very regimental and discipline that you must try to stick to it - either which types of runnings.

Rem:

nose in is cool & steady but it takes too much of body muscle (upper back to neck strain too) & intensity to perform right.

'mouth in' is easier to execute for fast warm-up and least strain on body & lung.

I believe the main technique here is not about breathing in but rather controlling breathing out - MUST be slow and prolonged if you wanna reserved & NOT be easily exhausted

I like to stride a lot in stadium lanes - whenever you lost your pace, momentum or 'form', just control your 'breathing out'!

I'm not concern on your breathin'in - your body will automatic adjust to either nose or mouth to get you that adequate oxygen in at your easiest way - mostly is mouth in when you reaches your strain point etc.

 

Above comes from my personal experience.

 

This is the kind of scientific answers i was looking for!

 

In an earlier post i also mentioned that i experienced nose-in is harder while mouth-in is easier. So it's because of the muscles involved. I wouldn't have thought of that. Now I know which direction to continue my research, thanks! [thumbsup]

Humans have been jogging for centuries. I'm sure scientific researches have been done on it. Like someone mentioned earlier, breathing involves back muscles... sounds logical.

Anaerobic metabolism, lactic acid.... more keywords for me to google and research, thanks for that.

 

So do you mean mouth-in mouth-out is supposed to be a better way of breadthing?
