Any tips on how to increase lung capacity? I fucking hate running, it makes my body feel like its gonna die. Anyways no matter how much i train i cannot get past a mile without my wind giving out. Took a pt test today, easily passed all the other tests but failed to complete the 1.5 mile run. My legs felt fine, but my lungs gave out and i couldnt breathe anymore. I hear all these people even old ones talking about how they run 4-5 miles idk if they are full of shit or if theres something faulty in me that prevents me from being able to run distance. Oddly ive always been very good at sprinting..but i can never run longer than a mile without my lungs giving out.

Just run for time not a specific distance. Your lung capacity will adjust.

Ex. Try to slow jog for 30 - 45 min a day. On sat go an hour.do for two Weeks

then amp up to steady jog same times...and so on.

You'll be blowing away 5k by end of month not even breathing heavy.

no alcohol.

I`m 44, 215lb and ran a 1/2 marathon back in march. Your lack of will power sickens me son.

Just like anything else start small and work up. Run as far as you can, and when your wind gives out just walk until you can breath again, repeat. Eventually your lung capacity will build.

so... why do you want to run?

Running is for twinks and criminals.

Only way to increase your running capacity is to run.
Just run, for however long you can. Over time your cardio will increase.

try some interval training

jog 400 meters and then walk 400 meters, and try to repeat this 4 to 6 times

as your endurance improves increase the speed at which you run/jog the 400 meters

try and do this twice a week

If your running at a weight of over 220, you are doing more damaged to yourself then the running is helping.

i have a feeling yes, there is something wrong with you. i don't know what, but not being able to run a mile is unimaginable to me. see a doctor, maybe. obviously it has nothing to do with willpower.

What are your stats? Height, weight, body fat %, shoe size, penis length-to-girth ratio, etc.

If you can walk a flight of 5 step stairs without tear a calf you're not exactly Arnold Classic material... Hth

Pfft. The lung capacity/aerobic issue was 'solved' years ago. Citing tommywishbone, the most efficient cardio is running from the man.
