The Mental Game

Take a deep breath.
Wait. Breathe through your nose,
hold until you feel the beginning of your body wanting to release. Exhale through your mouth.
"It is how you
breathe during your daily life that determines how you breathe during physical
exercise. If our breathing is off during rest, it would be unreasonable for it
to automatically correct itself during physical exercise. The seemingly innocuous tendencies of
breathing through the mouth during the day, having noticeable breathing from
the upper chest or holding the breath during sleep not only dictates your
breathlessness during training but often limits your capacity to go faster and
further." Patrick McKeown - Buteyko Clinic Dublin, Ireland.
"Nose breathing
imposes approximately 50 percent more resistance to the air stream in normal
individuals than does mouth breathing, resulting in 10-20 percent more O2
uptake. (Cottle, 1972: Rohrer, 1915)
Faster and father.
This means you are feeling good, rested and the shape you are in at the
moment. Wait a minute, you say. Weren't
we discussing the mental game? You bet
we were! You get 80% better oxygen needs
into your lungs than by breathing through your mouth. When breathing correctly one supplies the
fuel for the brain and the opportunity to be mentally sharper, think quicker,
be resilient to immediate and long term strategic planning.
