[quote=Anonymous]Is this the 1st or 2nd time you have completed 10 miles? If so, it's normal. If you do 11 or 12 miles for your next long run, you might find you get through 10 miles ok, but struggle with the last mile or 2. Once you get to a point where 10 miles is your "base", and you are running it regularly over several months, breathing should start to get easier. We could talk the entire 10 miles (or 13 or 18 etc) without gasping. I noticed when I returned from a vacation where I hadn't been able to run, I wasn't able to talk while running for several weeks. Also, make sure you are doing 2 or 3 shorter runs during the week, along with a day or 2 of strength training. If you get busy and cut these short, it will affect your breathing and muscle strength on the weekend long run. We used to joke that we knew we were "real runners" when our reaction to a 10 mile run in the schedule, was "oh good - it's a short run"![/quote]
