What is the best way to improve breathing while running I find my self breathing in and out through my mouth instead of in through the nose and out through the mouth? I've tried every way but just can't get the hang of up.

    slow down - most of the time people struggle with breathing because they are running too fast for their current capability - when you slow down, you can focus on getting your breathing correct

    This! Great point!

    I am getting back into running myself, and I struggle too, I'm a short distance runner, I downloaded the couch25k app, I get too excited when I start out, and I go to fast, therefore messes up my breathing... the app helps and although I'm learning all over again, makes a huge difference when I finally am able to get back to where I started.
