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 :)

hey,
I have read your problem, and i have been in the same situation before. So i know what you are talking about. Its really hard to start running fast from the beginning. Like for example, when you come to run the track, you start by walking fast , then jogging, and then running slowly, and then like the wind.you just have to keep a rhythm and dont run too fast until you get used to it. Thats when you are practising before the race,but by the time the race comes. you will be able to run like the wind from beginning to end. Trust me. But you have to practise everyday early in the morning.
So goodluck:) and if you need any other help or advice, then please be free to contact me.

well first off, you need to make the time to run and have the top 6 of your grade motivate you. It takes time to not be able to lose your breath if you do all the time. So you need to start now. Thats how you will get better and better. When you run, you want to start off with short distances and shorter time periods. Start off with a slow jog and maintaing a good pace. Slow and steady. Then each time you will get farther and faster with keepin a steady pace each time and you shouldnt run out of breath.

Really, practice practice practice. Practice running short distances, and to motivate yourself just keep thinking "Have to be top 6!". Start with semi-short distances, and work your way up to longer ones. Being in shape is what keeps you from losing your breath as fast, so you could try other workouts to improve it. Crunches, pushups, even walks can improve it. Good luck. :]

Any kind of aerobic exercise can help build up your wind. It doesn't have to be running. I placed an exercise bike in front of the TV, and I made a deal with myself that if I want to watch I have to spend the first 30 minutes pedaling. It's helped a lot, and I'm thinking of upping my time to an hour.
