So I understand why you get short of breath while running, because your body needs more oxygen, respiratory frequence increases and yada yada.
But why will I stay short of breath for a few whole minutes, even though my oxygen needs have already gone down? Like, a few seconds after running, your oxygen expenses didn’t change much, but they should get back to normal after a few seconds, right?

Also you don’t only need to replenish your oxygen supply, but get rid of CO2 which has built up in your body
