rest until breathing returns to normal
To catch your breath means to rest briefly after exercise or rushing so that you can breathe normally again.
Hear it in real life
Are you ready to go?
Almost - let me catch my breath first.
Give me a minute to catch my breath after those stairs.
The mistake everyone makes
Not: I need to catch my breathe.
Say: I need to catch my breath.
"Breath" is the noun in this expression; "breathe" is the verb.
