Improving breathing on speed sessions
I've been reading my old training diaries to see what sessions worked well/not well.
On reading I found a common pattern with my speed sessions, which was that my legs are strong and can keep good speed, but my breathing gives out before they tire. I know the whole point of speed work is to go at a pace that makes your breathing hard, but how can I improve my breathing so that I can go longer at speed?
BTW it seems that this was more evident over short reps of half to a mile, when running at about 5k pace.
