Summary: What’s the best way to get more oxygen into your system when you’re in the middle of a hard training run? <br> That’s a question today’s guest, Patrick McKeown, has the answer to, and it’s probably not the answer you’d expect! <br> Patrick McKeown is the author of the book The Oxygen Athlete, in <br> which he proposes methods to increase your body’s oxygen efficiency very <br> quickly, mostly through a basic step: breathing through your nose. <br> As difficult and backwards as they may sound, Patrick has some great <br> research and data to back up his theory. To help you better understand <br> why and how this process works, Patrick is on the show today to talk <br> about: <br> <br> The physiological differences between breathing through your nose and through your mouth.<br> Transitioning from breathing through your mouth to breathing through your nose.<br> Using breath-holding to simulate high altitude training.<br> Achieving higher levels of concentration during both training and the rest of life through proper breathing.<br> <br> I think this is a must-listen interview for anybody who hasn’t investigated this method of breathing yet.<br> <br> <br> <a href="http://runnersconnect.net/running-interviews/how-to-breathe-when-running/">How Do You Take In More Oxygen and Use That Oxygen More Efficiently?
