They explore: How Jacko accidentally knocked over a minute off his 5K time in four weeks just by changing his breathing—not his training volume Why most runners (from recreational to elite) are leaving performance on the table by ignoring breathing The difference between breathing rate vs. tidal volume and why deeper, slower, more efficient breaths can reduce perceived effort and breathlessness How nasal breathing improves oxygen delivery, running economy, and recovery—and when it makes sense to switch to mouth breathing at higher intensities The role of the diaphragm, rib cage mobility, and posture in breathing efficiency and running mechanics Why CO₂ tolerance, air hunger, and breathing muscle effort are key levers for controlling pace and effort How breath holds and “anaerobic” breath training can boost repeat sprint ability and lactate handling in team and endurance sports Practical ways Jacko integrates breathing into daily life, sleep, easy runs, hard sessions, and recovery Whether you’re a casual jogger or a competitive athlete, this episode shows how training your breath can help you run faster, feel better, and recover quicker—without just adding more miles. #oxygenadvantage, #breathwork, #runningperformance, #nasalbreathing, #endurancetraining, #runnersofinstagram, #marathontraining, #5ktraining, #vo2max, #diaphragmaticbreathing, #functionalbreathing, #sportsperformance, #recovery, #mentalhealth, #asthma, #rugby, #strengthandconditioning, #breathingexercises, #runningtips, #runstronger

  Patrick McKeown meets James Nestor, author of Breath The new science of a lost artJames Nestor is the author of a new book on breathing called:Breath: The new science of a lost art : https://www.mrjamesnestor.com/breath James Nestor is an author and journalist who has written for Outside Magazine, Men's Journal, The Atlantic, National Public Radio, The New York Times, Scientific American and more.Nestor’s new book, Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art, will be released through Riverhead/Penguin Random House on May 26, 2020. It explores how the human species has lost the ability to breathe properly over the past several hundred thousand years and is now suffering from a laundry list of maladies — snoring, sleep apnea, asthma, autoimmune disease— because of it. Nestor travels the world to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it. The answers aren’t found in pulmonology labs, as we might expect, but in the muddy digs of ancient burial sites, secret Soviet facilities, New Jersey choir schools, and the smoggy streets of Sao Paulo. Drawing on thousands of years of medical texts and recent cutting-edge studies in pulmonology, psychology, biochemistry, and human physiology, Breath turns the conventional wisdom of what we thought we knew about our most basic biological function on its head.Nestor has appeared on dozens of national radio and television shows ― including ABC’s Nightline, CBS Morning News, and dozens of NPR programs.
