When's the last time you thought about your breathing while running?

We at Breath Runner don't mean when you’re running hard, giving it a lot of effort; we mean from the beginning of the run, throughout the entire run, all the way to the end.

When's the last time your breathing dictated the pace of your run?

This is what Breath Running is all about. Taking the single most important variable involved in running — the ability to consume and utilize oxygen — and actually making it the priority. Not “a” priority — THE priority.

Breath Running is a concept whereby runners pace themselves by coordinating inhales and exhales with cadence (a.k.a., Steps Per Minute, or SPM). Nobody knows exactly when the idea to use breathing patterns to help with pacing began, but military armies have marched soldiers while having them chant songs since at least Alexander the Great marched on the Balkans more than 2,000 years ago. More recently (“recent” being at least the last 50+ years, maybe more), top level coaches have used breathing patterns to help their elite runners and other endurance athletes to be able to maximize their aerobic function.

The more oxygen a runner can take in and process, the greater their capacity to run longer and/or faster, generally speaking.

We at Breath Runner have taken this basic concept and organized it into a program that we believe can help the novice and the elite alike.
