Hello all! I have recently started back on the S&S path for the winter. I am looking forward to the nice mix of strength, mobility, and aerobic training during the cold months where I won’t really be able to get outside and jog.
I completed timed Simple last spring.
As I was rereading the book, I realized that I don’t follow Pavel’s advice on breath at all. So one of my goals this winter is to master my breath.
As I was practicing deep, slow breaths in between sets, I really felt short of breath.
My question is, what is the true benefit of the slow, deep nasal breathing between sets? I feel like I am not getting enough oxygen and it is slowing down my recovery. (I have no data to support this yet.). I also am uncomfortable with exaggerating my exhalation.
Far be it from me to ignore Pavel’s instruction, but this breathing instruction is not something that I’m sure I fully buy into.
Convince me to follow Pavel’s advice, or provide me some pointers that I might be over looking.
So any thoughts on breath?
