Hi, I'm new here.
I jog in the early morning these days, after dawn, but before my breakfast. I used to jog in the evening before. I'm having a bit of a problem at the moment - I don't have much stamina. It's odd, I could run about 25-30 minutes before on evenings, but lately at mornings I just manage about 10-15 minutes, excluding breaks. In those 10-15 minutes, it's not my body that feels fatigued, but my lungs.
See, in the morning, I feel short of breath. I can't seem to inhale as much oxygen. Because of that, when I jogged, I used to inhale and exhale in short breaths, and quickly. But that start to hurt eventually. Then I thought I should take longer, deeper breaths, with my chest. I kinda started practising it occasionally in the rest of the day, and then on morning I tried exercising that way. It was good, it was a change. But my lungs still hurt eventually.
Since then I've shifted to a mixture. I take deep breaths, and when my chest starts to hurt I shift to shorter breaths, then back again and so on. It has raised my jogging duration, but it still frustrates me. See, I'm somewhat hung up on the idea of "rhythm" and "unformity". I wish to jog uniformly, in a constant rhythm. But this breathing switch doesn't allow me to. Also, it distracts my concentration from the jogging itself, towards to the breathing. What should I do? Does anybody else feel short of breath and short of stamina early in the morning?
Additionally, I just read about diaphragmatic breathing. I think I am doing it right, but only by concentrating on it. But this method seems to inhale less air than deep chest breathing. I don't understand! Why does it inhale less? And should I use it in my jogging?
