Increase lung capacity?!


Question: I want to run faster and get my lungs bigger. My mile-run time is around 9 minutes and one my friend's is 7 minutes and I asked him how do you not get tired and he said his lungs are used to it because he plays soccer. I can't because I am not really good at it but what are like exercises you can do to increase your lung capacity. I tried searching some questions like that and most people said swimming but thats probably during summer but right now its winter... And be specific if you can. Thanks in advance.

Well, if you run more and more often, each day, like, a little longer than the last run, you'll be good to go. Or, try your local gym, and get on a treadmill. Every other few minutes or so, pump up the speed.

go to the ymca and run on the treadmill

my swimming coach used to make me go under the water and blow bubbles till i couldnt anymore then you come back up and take a deep breathe and do it again but never more than 3 times in a row without a break because you might become light headed that and my grandma gave me this thing see got after her surgery to open her lungs up but i don't think you can just buy them.
