What benefits can you expect in the long term?
Jogging with a comfortable breathing pattern should therefore be the basis on which you build your training sessions. At these paces, you burn fat off more easily, develop your network of small blood vessels, and improve the capacity of your muscles to capture oxygen in the blood. During sessions of intense activity when your breathing pattern will be much faster, you will develop the capacity of your heart and lungs to transfer more oxygen to the blood and your active muscles. These two adaptations will allow you to gradually increase your running speed during the course of your training programme, while remaining in the "talking" zone.
