You need to build up your lung capacity by continuing what you are doing. That is assuming the doctor has OK'd you for fitness.

You should be getting out of breath from running. I would expect that from someone who just started. If it is too much, try running then walking when it gets too much. After you catch your breath, run some more. Repeat the process. How long do you run (minutes? distance? whichever)?

Are you doing any other aerobic activities?

hey i run for like 1 minute walk and breathe and then run again

and i dont do other exercise

Your stamina will build up with time. Soon you'll notice you can run for 2 minutes, then walk. Eventually, you'll be jogging the whole time or most of the time.

What are your fitness goals?

to run for 5 minutes

You could try running in intervals for awhile.

One minute run
30 seconds [speed] walk
One minute run, 30 [speed] walk... and just keep going like that for awhile.

Until that gets easy, then either increase the amount of time running or decrease the amount of time [speed] walking. All up until your running for 5 minutes straight.

I do this for swimming a lot, the intervals of "rest" really help get through the tough parts.

okay thank you i will try that

that works for me as well..and when I find that the one minute run is getting easier I'll increase it alittle bit

I went running for the first time last night and had a smilar problem; could only run for about a minute before stopping due to shortness of breath. I was a little surprised since i have been going swimming regularly and felt i had built up a good pace with good control of my breathing. I guess this doesn't transfer to running well?

No, it doesn't. Running is in its own little world. It's normal to get shortness of breath when you first start running or doing any kind of aeorbic exercise. Some people even feel dizzy. First of all, it's not a bad idea to check with your doctor before running. If you're out of breath always make sure to stretch a few minutes before running. This will help with the breathing and less leg pain. Start off slow and build into running. Start off with a fast pace walk, run a little, walk a little, and then run for a short distance before pushing yourself to the point where you can't breath and your dizzy.
