Runner's World Running on Air: The Revolutionary Way to Run Better by Breathing Smarter Description
Renowned running coach Budd Coates presents a revolutionary yet simple training method based on rhythmic breathing to help runners at all experience levels improve their performance, prevent injury, and experience the joy of running. Validating his method through a mix of accessible science, Eastern philosophy, and the experiences of test subjects, Coates shows readers how focusing on their breathing brings their minds and bodies into harmony and helps them run stronger, faster, and more comfortably.
Rhythmic breathing increases lung volume; improves awareness and control; helps prevent injury and side stitches; improves running for those with asthma; allows runners to quickly set a pace for quality training and racing; and helps athletes manage muscle cramps. This book reviews the basics of rhythmic breathing, teaching readers how to perform it while walking and, eventually, while running. Weeklong sample schedules from different programs shows readers how to apply the rhythmic breathing scale to any workout. Coates also touches on the importance of stretching, cross-training, and core training and provides detailed training plans and schedules.

Here's the entire book: belly breath in for three steps then exhale for two. If you're working hard make it 2:1. Oh, and here are some couch to 5k type training plans. Seriously, that's it. It goes into a whole bunch of new-agey reasons why you don't want to always exhale when the same foot hits, but I have to tell ya, I'm no metronome so that would average itself out over time. If you think that's enough reason to throw some money at Amazon, go for it, but you've been warned.
Here's some friendly advice. If you get it, do so on kindle so you can return it easily.

I have done my bit of running and the importance of proper breathing while running and even biking for that matter is obvious. The technique to balance the breadth given by the author is simple and VERY effective, I have been using it and highly recommend, the process becomes smother and the runner develops a consciousness about how his body is reacting based on the breadth that is really good. The issue with the book however is that the author will describe the technique in two or three pages and that is all you need from the book - the rest is filling pages with reasons and evidence and comments which I found were unecessary, but hey, how can you sell such a great technique if not a book with more than 100 pages? Worth buying but not reading entirely.
