there's a way to control your breathing under mild exertions where you stay within your breath, if that makes sense. if you're breathing every stride that's probably overkill for jogging unless some other health thing is going on like asthma or allergies. try slowing it down so you take several steps per breath
that's not really "proper" breathing for running really hard, but if you're breathing "wrong" for a jog as it is that might give you better respiration to give your lungs more time on each breath.
I have no doubt you are correct, but lord willing I shall never jog again.
but any time you breathe hard and aren't at the physical limit, you can try slowing it down.
