Special Breathing Patters To RUN FASTER

In our LIVE today we’ll be talking about two different breathing patterns you’ve never tried before, that are proven to improve performance.
You likely do these patterns reflexively during a race, but if you can consciously do them before your race….you’ll fly to the moon!
Join us at 5:00pm EST for this live training

I used to do a breathing "game" when I would ride the Moscow subway when I lived in Russia in grad school. I worked near the center of the city but lived in the outskirts. I would breathe ONLY when the doors were open and then try and hold my breathe until we got to the next station. I would hyper oxygenate my blood with rapid in and out breathing (it was called hyper oxygenation back then as well, 1995), almost to the point of passing out. Then one big breath when the doors closed. I wouldnt even feel any discomfort for at least 1:30-2:30 minutes. The first stops were about 2:30 apart. Then hyper oxygenate again, and hold when the doors closed. As we got further from the center, the time between stops would get longer and longer. 3:00, 3:30, 4:00... the time between the last stop before mine and my stop was 5:35-5:45. I was able to hold my breath for this long (it was very diffucult and sometimes other passengers would be concerned that I was choking or having a seizure or something! I got a lot of funny looks), but I could routinely hold my breath this long with repeated stops, rapid breathing and holds for maybe 5-6 stops (I dont remember exactly as it was almost 30 years ago). I am very glad I didn’t live one more stop on that line because the next stop took 7:35 and im pretty sure I could not do THAT!

Thx for this very interesting and informative video for runners. Additionaly it's very important to mention, that free divers learn to never, never, never do WimHof-Breathing or any kind of hyperventilation or CO2-purge before diving. Through the decreased CO2-Level, there is more time to dive, sure; but during the longer dive, O2 level decreases and this is very dangerous to get a blackout under water. This is often deadly. Freedivers train a higher CO2-tolerance, and do not decrease their CO2-lever before a dive.

Replay. Here. Great content !!!

I appreciate that

Hey, Freddy from Toronto Canada. Thank you for this video. God bless you richly.

[@runelitecoach]

God bless you too sir. Thank you

A nose breathing video would be great. Plus a video on best breathing styles per types of runs (i.e. nose breath on easy runs, mouth breath on max effort aerobic) and information on breathing cadence (i.e. every four steps for aerobic vs every two steps on sprint)… Loved this video though, thanks!

[@runelitecoach]

Welcome 🙏 I hear you. I’ve had many requests for that. I don’t believe I have much to say on it that doesn’t already exist. But I hear that there’s a demand for this and confusion about it. So in the future I’ll consider this for a video. Thank you :)

[@abouttown]

Yes having you analyze nose breathing would be very useful even if well covered elsewhere.

[@runelitecoach]

Welcome to the channel. You have some amazing runners over there in Uganda. 🇺🇬

[@ziadirida]

Which timestamp has the technique? I watched the whole thing but I think i missed the technique :)

[@b09d4n]

I am interested in a video about nasal breathing. Daniels preaches nasal breathing runs.

[@runelitecoach]

I talk about this a bit at the end of this video during the QnA portion. But I’ve had requests for this in the past too so will take note and schedule this for an upcoming video. Thank you for the suggestion

I have found that a breathing pattern during races helps occupy my mind as well…as I had an erratic pattern up until college when a teammate explained the pattern strategy…my times dropped drastically…can you explain if there are any scientific benefits to this strategy or is it all psychological? Thanks!

[@phacocataractdrlvkraju5]

It's like meditation, when breathing mindful. Greaaaat info. Thank you

[@runelitecoach]

a breathing pattern helps a LOT. It's a different topic than this video..but yes it does. The main reason is twofold: 1. when you exhale when the foot strikes the ground you stabilize the core and guts. That's a good thing. So you'll find that your breathing patterns (whichever one is selected) will naturally have an exhale as the foot touches the ground. 2. the rhythmic breathing that comes from a pattern is more efficient because your body can literally "remember" the pattern and fire the breath pattern automatically. It takes energy to consciously change your breathing, but when in a pattern you can put it on autopilot essentially.

1 thing dos not lead to other. maibe he could hold for 3-17 because he was eficient in not producing co2,(moving/exercising you do not have that option). holding your breath works because you learn to tolerate more co2. andrew h. the two ins one out is a good one because you expel more co2, and still have some fresh air.

[@runelitecoach]

Not sure what you mean by “one does not lead to the other”. Are you saying that hyperoxegenating or CO2 purging don’t lead to improved performance? Of course they do. You do them naturally when you’re running. It’s why you breath harder and deeper

[@ocaraevil]

@@runelitecoach holding your breath. in this comparison is not effective. cause divers learn to make their hearts to beat slowly and move slowly underwater. my opinion: if you gonna train for that is better running cause you gonna have to 'CO2 purging' and learn(be more efficient) to use acid latic as fuel in the same training session. unless you like to holding your breath and do like some yoga, meditation pratices together.

I still can't understand how you're only having 15900 subs while some other running amateurs boast with over 100k. It's ridiculous. Our genre is underrated anyway, but In your case it's a shame. I'm not envious at all , it's simply a joke how they get attention for their presentation, but their content is mediocre at most.

[@runelitecoach]

Thanks man. Last time you said that I think I was at 3.5k subs. So it’s growing. Thanks for your support. Share the videos! And I’ll see you again at 40k by the end of this year. Onward from there. Give it a year and we’ll be up there even more. I just started this channel about 18 months ago

@@runelitecoach OK I'll do it , but only starting shortly before my next Marathon in 15 days, cos I'm still convinced a vast majority of my competitors does not implement all your knowledge into their running. It also takes some time for people to trust a certain advice, especially if it's the first time they hear about it. Even I had to hear your stuff from multiple sources over a decade now until you were finally the one who convinced me to make some drastic changes in my diet and so on. Promised, I'll start sharing from May 20th the latest. Your info should be treated as highly classified files, even if half my competition already knows it, it's still an advantage. If I was world class I would only give away my secrets after retirement . My prime was 2014 , but you keep me having fun, though PRing is over after 31 years of athletics at 44 now.
