For years, I have been breathing to my left or my right in equal amounts indoors. Thought that this was the best way to achieve balance and try to keep some body symmetry and coordination.
What's developed and continues is that I am more efficient breathing to my left. Both arms seem to be doing an equal amount of work and my times are about 2 seconds faster per 100.
Breathing right is not the same stroke. My right arm dominates (I'm right handed) and the workload seems more 33/67 or 40/60 at best. When tired, the left arm even seems to have trouble getting back to the beginning of the stroke.
Noticing a growing asymmetry and thinking of breathing predominantly or exclusively to the left where workload feels balanced.
What have you done? Thank you for your experience with this one.
