Hey, it's me again.
This is last year in high school.. which means I only have one chance left at the Cross Country. For the past years, I have embarrassed myself at any sporting activities. Last year, I came 76th in the Cross Country because I became too dehydrated, too sore and too generally exhausted within the first kilometer.
This year, I wanna come at least 20th. But after all the morning excercises I do such as jogging and stuff, etc. I have realised that I have breathing problems. I am a type who has anaerobic respiration and I perform better in 5 second spurts when I have no air in lungs. I am sometimes short of breath for no apparent reason and sometimes when I'm just doing inactive activities, I stop breathing altogether for about 30 seconds until I realise I'm not breathing. And with this, heart rate is also a tad higher than average.
I think this is a big problem with me trying to get fit.
Can someone help?

Yeah, most times, I do. But I've actually analyzed the way I breathe normally and it's very irregular. I keep taking EXTRMELY short breaths where you can't even feel the air move and then I become short of breath and take one really deep breath. Then the cycle goes on...
I measured heart rate and breath rate and I take about 11 breaths a minute and pulse goes at 80 beats/minute.
No, I haven't seen any specialists 'cause everyone always told me it's not that bad and I thought I might get some advice from yous before hand.
