Q: I've been running for a few weeks, but I still get winded easily. How can I avoid this?
A: Try a longer, more gradual warmup. Your heart, lungs, and muscles simply need a gentler introduction to running. First, walk for three to five minutes. When you start running, keep the pace easy--one or two minutes per mile slower than you usually run. Also, insert one-minute walk breaks every one or two minutes for about 15 minutes. After that you should be able to gradually increase to your normal training pace without getting winded.
