Question

Will taking in more oxygen at the beginning of a run, help later on during the run making it easier to run?

Answer 1

If you are talking about inhaling oxygen before running, then no, it will not help once you begin to run.

Your body transports the oxygen it needs, and the amount you can transport depends on the number of red blood cells.

After a few breaths the extra oxygen you might have in your system is gone, since you are breathing air, so there would not be any long term benefit from breathing pure oxygen before running.

Answer 2

no, u would just be light headed and dizy the whole run!!!

Answer 3

absolutely not, as far as taking in oxygen is concerned, its your bodys oxygen process volume or something like that.  the average person can process 45-55%, a trained person can go about65%, last years ford ironman could process 82%.  as you improve the walls of your heart will thicken by 10% and your lung capacity will improve
