    Generally, any way you get air in is healthy.

    But you want to train your body to establish a rhythmic breathing pattern. I inhale for two steps and exhale for two steps. Every time my left food hits the ground, I change the breathing.

    Left food: In

    Right foot: in

    Left foot: Out

    Right foot: Out

    And so forth. Don't worry about the nose/mouth pattern. Just practice breathing anyway you can. I breathe only with my mouth and I run marathons, so I'm not missing out.

    Good luck!
