Well, couldn't he just run infinitely far between one breath and another? He is shown speaking while running, so I assume he does indeed breathe, but he is protected by the speed force/his altered superhuman physiology. Though I don't even read Flash, so I really have no idea. Maybe he CAN breathe, but he doesn't have to? I'm confusing myself at this point.

he needs air to breath, even if he is a advance human he is still human and needs air to live, the speed force only lets him run like he does it does not alter his human body, if someone stabs him he will bleed, if he is put into a tank of water he will drown.
he's a comic book character. he doesnt need to. im to tired to go into it, but if a human were to move at say lightspeed, they would not be able to intake oxygen. does this matter with the Flash? no. nothing does. for example, if the Flash were to accelerate suddenly as he usually does, he would friction burn straight inot the ground (normal ones feet would give out first, but the speed force protects him from this). real world logic doesnt apply. most characters have been shown in space with no helets who shouldnt have been able to at some point and usually speaking to each other and able to hear one another fine. characters like Sue Storm and Magneto can be heard clearly through there forcefields. Storm has summoned lightning storms in space. Flash can vibrate through walls (nyet!), Wolverine can completly reheal from a skeleton and a brain (which somehow wasnt boiled) with no systems to survive with and no sample tissue with which to regenrate his organs with .
so the answer is - yes, he does need to and even though it shouldnt be possible for him to breath, he does because he is a fictional character.
Technically he should need air. I've also thought about this though I've never actually asked it. But I just go with, it's a comic book and there are times where comics don't exactly get their science right, while they do get it right at other times.
" The Speed Force allows Flash to draw air directly into his cells.The Bernoulli effect would make it impossible for Flash to breathe normally at high speeds. "
but he still needs air,if he was to run in space he would die.

how would he run in space? "
papi_5 said that if galactus was to destroy a planet flash would just run to another one.

Correct. Flash doesn't need to inhale or exhale inside an atmosphere while under the influence of the Speed Force. Outside of an atmosphere, he's as vulnerable as anyone else.
A Casnian agent took advantage of this in an episode of Justice League called "Made of Honor". Thankfully GL got him back inside before he suffocated.
