i find the best breathing to be deep, relaxed, natural breathing, but don't stress over your breathing. just try to run strong but relaxed and in control and your proper breathing rhythym will find you. if you try to force a particular patter of breathing you'll find yourself using more effort than you need to just trying to control your breath. your body knows what it wants. you control the pace and let your body do its thing.Does jogging in cold weather affect your performance?
Everybody has a different rhythm on when to breathe and how often. The important thing to remember is to maintain a consistent, smooth cadence when breathing.Another tip, breathe in with both your mouth and nose and breathe out with both your mouth and nose. Breathing in with just your nose can restrict your breathing by as much as 40%.
One more thing. They say you should breathe in and expand your stomach and not your chest. This is where the majority of your lungs take in oxygen. I've ran three marathons and have still yet to master this technique.
Usually, every 4th step worked well for me. If I needed to speed it up a little, I went to every 3rd step. Stitches could be caused my many things, breathing technique is one of them. When you get a stitch, try to take deep breaths and whichever side the stitch is on, put that hand on top of your head to help expand your lung on that side.

breathe in through ur nose(esp. in the cold) & out through ur mouth.match ur breathing with the rythym of ur steps. breathe in as u strike ur right foot, then out as ur right foot strikes again, then in on the right next time, etc.(or vice versa)
when u have a stitch on ur right-hand side, breathe in & out when ur left foot strikes (& vice versa)

stitches are usually water related dehydration, breathing is what ever makes your body happy, I used to breathe in through my mouth to get lots of o2 to my lungs, the nose was good too. but my mouth allowed way more oxygen. I am guessing yours will as well.Hmmm some very strange answers
If you wish to get rid of stitch you will need to reverse breathe! this is where instead of breathing up when you inhale, ie expanding your diaphram, you breath to the bottom of your lungs and force out your stomach... sounds wierd I know but trust me. Thus you change the work down by the diaphram and relieve the cramp that occurs between the ribs. When you get cramp in your legs your stretch the opposite way to relieve it! This is exactly the same for the muscles the expand and contract your lungs.. So practice forcing/pushing your stomach out as you breathe in and pulling your stomach in as you breathe out. Once you have this licked you will be able to do it for a minute or so while running and Voila. no more stitch.... Breathing on the 4th stride, or your left foot, or when there is a letter y in the day is all poppycock and more likely to make you fall over concentrating on getting it right!! *GRIN*
hope this helps
