Breathing Techniques During a relaxed run, you should develop a (3:2) ratio and inhale for three steps and exhale for 2 steps. Breathing in a 3:2 ration will help prevent painful cramps in your diaphragm that may occur while running. 3:2 Breathing Techniques
When you are running hard or fast, your breathing pattern will automatically switch to a 2:1 ratio. Rhythmic Breathing and Injury Prevention Rhythmic breathing will help prevent injuries. While running, you hit the ground with greater force at the beginning of each exhalation. If you use the 3:2 ratio and exhale on alternate footstrikes, you will balance the impact of stress to both sides of your body. If you use a 2:2 ratio, you will strike the ground with the same foot at the beginning of each exhalation. This will cause one side of your body to experience a greater impact of stress during running.
