I can work on an ellyptical machine for 45 minutes, but I cannot RUN on a treadmill for over 5 minutes! Does anyone have this problem? I think it is my breathing, I can't seem to regulate my breathing.

    I can't run on a treadmill at all - for some reason I can't keep my balance. When I use a treadmill I can only walk - but walk very fast and uphill.

    To answer your question - yes, it may very well have to do with your breathing. You get more winded running than doing the elliptical.

    i have problems running on a tredmill for long periods of time. I think its my breathing as well having a hard time regulating how i breath.....I have also found the best way to run is to do it in intervals ....run 5 walk 2...and increase each week.
