Hey team -
So, something I've started to notice since I've taken training more seriously.
I can't breathe in a circular pattern. That is, if I'm mid-run or bike and I start the in-through-nose-out-through-mouth, I immediately tank. I can run my heart rate up pretty high and continue breathing nose-only for quite a while. But, if I breathe at all through my mouth it immediately feels like I get punched in the guts, heartrate goes haywire, and I start breathing way up in my neck. I feel like this is a big limiter to endurance because literally everything says this is how to breathe, but I just can't. Likely because I'm doing something wrong - anyone experience this?
