BETTER RUNNERS BREATHE BETTER
Your breath is fundamental to physical and mental performance. How you breathe affects your efficiency, your perception of effort, your nervous system and more. Yet you've probably never trained your breathing.
David 'Jacko' Jackson simplifies the science of respiration and gives you the practical tools for smarter breathing and stronger running. He takes you through the limitations of how we currently breathe and shows you how to
train your respiratory system.
Through breathwork exercises integrated into your training – including mobility hacks to unlock your ribcage and tools to develop your diaphragm – you'll learn how to ventilate more efficiently like an elite runner.
No matter your running experience, this book will unlock the key to running further and faster.
