nose breathing
Yep.
using a restrictive mask
Nope.
I try to keep to nose breathing on my easy runs as like you say it's a good way to limit exertion without having to think about it. I kjust keep my mouth shut but if you are finding that difficult then a little bit of tape (micropore, not duct) on your lips is used by some people. There are benefits to nasal breathing other than restricting air intake too, The Oxygen Advantage by Patrick McKeown is a decent book on the subject if you are interested.

If this has been discussed already , apologies.
I started to read about Buteyko breathing and Wim Hof method , bla bla bla .
Not really into the spiritual stuff but I can see value in restrictive breathing whilst running or cycling for training purposes.
Has anyone tried nose breathing or using a restrictive mask whilst running and seen a worthwhile benefit ? Im two runs in and it certainly makes the run harder but id be interested to hear the findings of others with more experience.
Cheers
