    Any thoughts on Obree's belief that warm air inhaled through the nose is bestest? Does the body deal with it more efficiently somehow?

    Maybe he has cold triggered asthma. I used to suffer terribly from that in early season TTs until I got on the right doping programme. Cold dry air can certainly cause enough bronchoconstriction in susceptible subjects to limit aerobic performance.

  • At intensities above tempo I breath through my mouth so not an issue. My nose is too restrictive. I don't see how nose vs. mouth can make much difference to air temp but who knows unless it's tested.
