Why are we dhort of breath AFTER running?

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?

Because it still needs to replenish. Also your heart is still beating fast, and for it to just slow down all of a sudden will sent you either into shock or cardiac arrest.
