Explain why we feel breathless after running for a long time ?

The oxygen transfer from your lungs to your blood can't always keep up with the amount you are burning so the heart demands more and begins to beat faster and your lungs try to work faster to keep up with your heart transferring the oxygen to your blood. As you get in better shape the heart and lungs work more efficiently and you don't feel so out of breath.
