I'm "nose-inhaling" even during my fastest intervals,
I was nose-breathing during my fastest half-marathon (1h26, my profile picture)

even uphill, S. Jurek and John Douillard say nose-breathing.
if the effort is too hard, exhaling can be through the mouth, expelling the air "like a ball of fire"
(i'm not sure what it means, but that's what they say)
the idea is that at the beginning it wont be easy and is gonna slow you down,
but with experience, you'll be more efficient AND more relax, and after few months you'll be faster, even uphill
that's it !
Jurek doesnt say "ball of fire", but "breath of fire", and explain it comes from yoga !
I was trying to be friendly with a joke. You said i wasn't vegan, i already knew it.
I know you like science to here's something you might find interesting.

breath trhought nose = highly oxigenated brain and body
I suspect it's often like a placebo effect. Some practices may work, but not for the reasons people think they do. They're correcting something that's wrong, but will have no effect on those who aren't doing anything wrong.And breathing through the mouth equals a non-oxygenated brain and body?
I am skeptical in the same way as I am skeptical of low heart rate training. Sure I believe they both probably work, but is it better than the traditional practice?
also you are almost vegan right? pescatarian you are?

Still, Skedaddle's experience is intriguing, although my gut reaction is to side with Kozz.
I haven't made myself understood, but I don't have any interest in pursuing one of those long threads trying to clarify. I'm sure you'll do fine in any case old grasshopper. I look forward to hearing how you progress. This thread has been interesting.The whole point of the thread was about correcting something that was wrong. You're finally starting your path to enlightenment young grasshopper

I'm not gonna copy the whole chapter about breathing from John Douillard, but he explain "why" it works,
some eplanations are very "western" (anatomical, scientific, ...),
some others come more from yoga and ayurvedic tradition so it may not satisfy everybody
indeed, Abide, nose inhaling seems to oxygenate more the brain than mouth inhaling.
anyway, nose and mouth breathing are very different, if you want to understand why, read the book !
I think we may be comparing apples to oranges. Large deep breaths through the nose may be more oxygenating than shallow breaths through the mouth but if you practice deep breathing through the mouth it's significantly more efficient and likely more oxygenating than deep nasal breathing.
And breathing through the mouth equals a non-oxygenated brain and body?

of course not, what a fallacy, only less oxygenated body and brain obviously
if u breath trhough nose the air goes more profound in the limbs and also with an adecuate temperate (nose is a filter) and also that filter of the nose erase dirty things from air
is very simple
As someone who has had there nose broken at least three times, breathing through my nose during any kind of exercise is next to impossible. Been like that since my early thirties. Talking when I should have been listening thing. Have managed to live with it so far!
