There is a couple of breathing mouthpieces being marketed like the Airofit which have an app to make them seem more legit, I still think the jury is out.
A good friend of mine who is an ex-common wealth rower did a Wim Hof session and said it was brilliant. It's breathing and mental priming which I think are different to just nose breathing.

Sure , I haven't got one of those masks , I've just been trying nose breathing on runs.
Maybe I should be more open minded with the Wim Hof stuff as a natural sceptic I moved past the mental / spiritual part and just assumed its only about being able to more efficiently use oxygen and having a higher tolerance for c02

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
