My coach is telling me to "just take in a deeeep breath". do you guys just do that?? breathe deeply from your chest?? I breath like I run, from my chest. I heard/read or something about diaphragmatic breathing technique.
I realize that I'm new and all, but I get soooo frustrated getting winded. I can't help but think I'm doing something wrong. He tells me to just keep going and "work it out". I'm turning my head to side, getting deep breath, I'm not sure I"m exhaling as much or right as I should and I might be getting too much air in. After 3 or or 5 complete rotations of r and left (what is that called) strokes, I bob up and am so winded. That's so hard for me cause I can run 2 relatively easy miles on a treadmill at 7 mph.
Thanks,
Mark
I agree with Dorothy. 4 is very difficult for a beginner. I would start with breathing every 2. It should help you develop a rhythm. Breathing every 3 can be kind of tricky for a beginner, too, but long term I think 3 is the way to go. It helps prevent shoulder injuries and keeps your stroke in balance.
