It is called anaerobic respiration.

Another term is fermentation: either ethanolfermentation (by yeasts and plants) or lactic acidfermentation, for example by people running for a bus!

Some people do not use the terms anaerobic respiration and fermentation interchangeably. For some discussion, see the link below.
