Why do I feel like I'm dying every time I go for a run or jog?
I think I have very poor stamina, I weigh 160 and I’m 5’7 height. I always had a problem breathing like I can’t breathe through my nose well. but when I run or go for a jog, I run out of breath really fast where I can’t run anymore and I always to take a lot of water breaks, and I always try going faster and not giving up, but it’s just so hard for me. I don’t really do any cardio stuff because I always run of breath too fast where I can’t breathe anymore.
Well the Idea with cardio is not to go fast but to build up endurance. Jogging doesn’t require speed but perseverance really. You should probably do some breathing excersices before you go jogging and start with small amounts each day.
It also helps to time yourself how long it takes you to finish something. For example it takes me about 10 minutes to do a mile of jogging. Which is why I end up doing several miles instead of simply one.
What’s really important is to have someone there with you to motivate you, I don’t usually jog alone , I go with my friend and it really makes a difference so to speak.
Try not carry anything with you either, drinking water while you’re jogging will just mess with your breathing.
Hope that helps :)
Okay, well how do you breather? If you inhale and exhale through your mouth when you are breathing fast, then you are inhaling the same CO2 you just released, and not getting too much oxygen. So, you are running out of breath because your not getting enough. Also, since you say you don’t do much cardio, you are not prepared so much for a run. Try power walking or just jogging every morning and start increasing your workout by running/jogging faster and/or just increasing the time. So that’s basically all I know.
I should note that timing yourself is so you know when you’re ready to do a longer course :)
Thank so much :) Also I live in the hills, and I think that makes me tired, like really tired fast. do you think I should start on flat surfaces?
Ok thanks for your advice :)
Welcome, and maybe you should start on flat surfaces. Inclined slopes require more force output, and you drain your energy a bit faster. Kind of like running up some steps.
How long have you been doing this? Do you jog infrequently or has this been happening many times. Like Miguel said, it takes time for your body to become accustomed to long jogs…you have to build up your endurance and I have to stress this, eat the right foods. What you eat has a lot to do if you keep hitting wall for lack of energy…this I speak from experience that your body when starved for fuel after a while will attack muscle and can cause injuries over time. Don’t get frustrated like some do, as you gradually increase your distance you will see changes; you speed up, less tired or fatigued, and there is this thing runners get after a while where you can jog for a long time and not get tired…something like a “runners high”
