Erwan, I´m curious to know what you think the right breathing technique is while running? I´ve adapted the nose only way some months ago and I do pretty well with it although difficult to hold when running fast for a long period of time.

[MovNat]

@GoAnderson Do you need to expand your chest and open your mouth when you breath normally (say you're relaxed on a couch)? No. Do you need to expand your chest so you can get more air when you're going faster? Yes. So why wouldn't you also enlarge your airway by opening your mouth so you can inhale more air, and faster?

[MovNat]

@GoAnderson To make it more difficult to breath? That can be indeed a good training strategy to make your abdominal breathing muscles more powerful but also generate a greater physiological adaptation at cell level, by creating an oxygen deficit. Can be useful to your training. I sometimes do something different but similar results by frequently holding my breath when I run. But apart from that, open your mouth and breath freely whenever you can and make your life easier.

A few days ago I uploaded a video of me running barefoot through the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas. It's on my channel if you want to check it out

@HitTheTrailRunning Cool video!

[MrOnairos]

do u get cut a lot on ur feet?

[MovNat]

@MrOnairos Minor cuts happen from time to time, but if you pay attention, run with good technique and if your feet got strong you don't have much to worry.

If you need inspiration to run.. Watch this

[snoozebottle]

I notice you don't lift your feet that high, if at all really. Roughly how high should you lift them to allow the knees to bend sufficiently yet naturally to help prevent calf strain?

[bobdidge]

i notice you dont have much arm swing, is that part of being relaxed or just your style...purely out of interest...?

[GoAnderson]

@MovNat You´re right. Todays run was an epiphany like experience. After so many months of nose-only I was much faster than before but at the same time more relaxed. I think the efficiency of mouth breathing speaks for itself. I´ll definitely try holding my breath during a run as you do, this will also help on swimming and diving, very good. I really appreciate your answer and thank you very much.

@KillerMinT Have you ever step on sh*t in your running shoes? Do you ask that questions to people who wear shoes?
