OK then, some running advice. To learn how to run for longer, start running slower. Set out at a very slow pace, concentrating on holding yourself back, and you will probably find you will be able to go a lot longer time without tiring. This is because you are not going into oxygen debt with your breathing, which starts to happen as soon as you are breathing heavily. When you go into oxygen debt it means that your leg muscles can't get the oxygen they need, and they feel heavy and sluggish. So, you need to ensure that you don't get too out of breath, slowing the pace down more if you begin to experience this. Running manuals often advise that you should be able to maintain a conversation when you are running. Eventually, as your lungs get more efficient you will take longer to get out of breath and you will also get faster.
Thank you so much for that, I do feel like if I follow this advice I will progress better, so thank you!
