Today’s “stamina” session was a 45 minute run using only Nasal Breathing. This week’s focus was on running while only using the nose to breathe and it is quite an interesting effort. It requires a slower overall pace and a more mindful approach to breathing and focus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This actually meant that I walked a couple of the hills to keep from pushing past the nasal breathing. The breathes are longer inhales and exhales. I took a little bit different route around Wirth including a bathroom stop. I kind of lost track of the time as my watch screen didn’t have an elapsed time on it. So I actually ended up running for an hour and finished 5.6 miles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Overall it felt good as it was a nice steady slow run. It felt like some of the lower heart rate runs or more of a true long run feel. I liked that I wasn’t pushing the pace and could enjoy more of the scenery as I ran! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
