[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I disagree. I mean, you shouldn't be panting like a dog, but I'm more comfortable breathing in through my mouth, and I've been a runner for 10 years. The trick to breathing is, you want to keep to a 2/3 rhythm, e.g. breathe in two steps, breathe out three. If you get into a 1/2 (breathe in one step, breathe out two), you're getting anaerobic, and you won't be able to keep it up.

Interesting. It could be that my advice is old/out dated, but this is how my track and field hockey coaches trained me (20 years ago). Certainly, do what is most comfortable/feels best. I find that breathing through my mouth, dries my mouth out. If I breath in through the nose out through the mouth, my mouth never gets dry/uncomfortable. I like your advice on rythm--I'm going to try that.[/quote]

Different strokes, I guess :)

The advice on rhythm isn't mine, to be fair (I read it in a book years ago), but I've found it to be very true.  If you're decently trained, you can probably hold a 1/2 for a 5k.[/quote]
