okay..so im not really good with running long distances without losing my breath..and i know may is far away..but we have a big race at school and i really want to be top 6 for my grade..and i know that if i run and run ill get better and better..but ive been so busy and i can never motivate myself to run!! i have no idea what to do..what are some good ways to make me not run out of breath!! thanks so muchh! :]

Everyone has said great advice and what I did was just push myself until I couldn't breathe which was quite unhealthy and extremely painful but it worked in the long run.

I don't suggest doing that but on top of what others have said you should practice sitting up straight and focussing on breathing deeply. Do this everyday whenever you get a chance because you need to increase your lung capacity.

Try listening to music when you run or thinking the same thought over and over again, it keeps your breathing steady while you run so that your muscles get the oxygen that they need.

Good luck :)
