The Weird Reason Why Your Run Breathing Technique Is Holding You Back (Nose vs Mouth Breathing)
Too many runners train in ‘the grey zone’, too fast for an easy run but too slow for a hard run. Nose breathing is a natural way to ensure your easy runs are easy, because you can not supply enough oxygen to the muscles if you run too fast.

Listen, watch and read on as we go super deep on this.
We believe people learn wholistically and by different means so this podcast is now available as a Youtube video and written blog post here.What You Will Learn
