      This. I don't understand how this is alien to people. I thought everyone was a nose breather like me until I got into the sport of running and people telling folks they have to learn to nose breathe. Color me fucking surprised. Also naturally breathe with my stomach/diaphragm day to day but for some reason only chest breathe while running or jogging. Perhaps that's the only reason I even look at breathing videos because I'm interested in the weirdness of it all now.

    I have exercise induced asthma, and have always struggled to breathe when running, gong into severe attacks at the end of races. Since switching to nose breathing, I haven't even needed my inhaler! I had to slow down quite a bit at first, but it was so worth it. It's like adding an extra gear when sprinting or doing hills!

      Hey, i've had lifelong ashtma and my lungs would always constrict about a mile into a run. Nose breathing has CHANGED THE GAME. I just started and already I can get through a 3 mile run with my lungs mostly open. It's unreal. I think i was always shallow breathing and my lungs closed up to protect themselves.

      I've been sleeping with a plaster over my mouth since reading a book called, "Breathing Free", It was suggested to me from a friend who's dad had emphasyma, he then had lung cancer, but was told not to worry about the lung cancer as the emphasyma will kill him first. He lived long enough to die if lung cancer. I highly recommend the book. Anyway I now don't wake up every morning with a sore throat and a blocked nose, as before and it definitely helps manage my asthma.
      I read it years ago and have forgotten most of it, but it said something about breathing through your nose helps to get the right pH of your blood making oxygen transfer more efficient.

    Been using 100% nose breathing for over a year. It has been a foundational change to my running, it impacts every aspect of a run (I’m over 40 so I had to break a lot of habits). Nose breathing has given me more control of my energy output during a long run, and I’m more conscious of my heart rate and speed. Initially it made my runs slower and it was difficult reminding myself to keep my mouth closed especially towards the end of runs. The awareness of your breath that comes with nose breathing is particularly useful during interval training, after much practice I was able to maintain my heart rate while increasing turnover. Overall it’s a very useful technique and allows you to regulate your exertion levels, in my case it didn’t specifically increase my top end speed but it moved what used to be an 80% exertion run down to a 50-60% exertion, and cut my recovery times in half (returning to calm breathing between reps). It’s difficult to master (I’m still a few years off) and I still have to practice at it everyday, but the benefits extend to your normal life. It’s my go to when I want to calm emotions or relax my body. It’s super useful, thanks for the video!

    Thank u so much for this vid!! I've been hearing about mewing recently. Of course it's a hot topic now and I've been having this dilemma with running, if I'm supposed to run with mouth open or not. Soooo many sources online told me to run with my mouth open, cuz it allows for more oxygen to enter, probably answered by people who've been mouth breathing and find it difficult to change that. I needed to hear it from someone who knows about nose breathing and has practiced it for a while and is able to run without breathing thru his mouth. So thank u so much for uploading this! I needed to hear it. I'm a mouth breather and I too find it difficult to breathe thru my nose especially when running but I'll give it a shot. There are probably more mouth breathers out there looking for this video for answers right now, just like me🙏

    I learned 15yrs ago how to breathe properly by running. There is NO WAY you will endure long on the track breathing through your mouth. Plus you run faster. AND I noticed my facial structures become more sculpted over time. My nose in particular is no longer round, cheekbones are as sharper than ever and ears are pointier. It was a free face-lift for sure.

    Hello friend. My name is Marcos Antonio, I'm a marathon runner, I'm 65 years old and I'm from Brazil.
    Currently I've been dedicating myself to research this item of breathing correctly through the nose to have better results and improve heart rate.
    For some time I have been practicing the fourth item, which is to try to train races breathing only through the nose. I confess that I have been observing some small improvements in the heart rate. Now I will try to apply the first three items as well.
    Thanks for the tips and hope to receive more.
    If you have any other videos on the subject to indicate me. I will be very grateful

      It is worth noting that there is no actual scientific, peer-reviewed evidence for what Nestor claims. It is essentially pseudoscience (fake). That does not mean breathing through the nose does not help, but there is no evidence. It could be that it limits look at what elite runners do. Some do nose breath, such as Kiloam Jornet, but it is used as part of low heart rate zones “ So sometimes it is good to do training sessions only breathing in through the nose which helps improve your efficiency over a long distance because you learn to breathe more air in through your nose. “ Other times he does breathe through the mouth.
      The idea that nose breathing is ideal is not based in science. It may be a good way to warm up air in cold weather or to help stay in the appropriate zone for long-distance running. This book is not scientific though.

    Thanks, Tyson. I've read James Nestor's Book and also Patrick McKeown's book The Oxygen Advantage. I have been taping my mouth at night for the past couple of years and breathing through my nose throughout the day. Running has been the hardest nut to crack when it comes to nose breathing. For me, I just struggle to run slow enough and persist at this pace over time to allow my lungs and physiology to adapt. But I have found a solution of sorts. I've been running every day this year and that means the need to prevent injuries and take care if I feel pain or soreness developing. So I've had to slow down when I had calf pain. I mean, really slow down! If wanted to keep running every day, I had to. To make me feel I was still benefiting from these very slow runs I started running them whilst nose breathing. Breakthrough! I said it wasn't an ideal solution but it took me to have to really run slowly to allow my lungs and body to begin to adapt. I am beginning to find my nose breathing becoming more natural. I've found people say they have transitioned to nasal breathing runs but do not say how hard it can be and how slow you need to run at the start!

    Some days breathing through my nose, while running, is easy, and some days I just get out of breath. As another person commented, inhaling through the nose and exhaling through the mouth seems helpful and, at least initially, easier. I tape my mouth at night with very little tape. Usually I wake up in the morning with it still taped. I feel well rested, and my throat is never soar. If I don't tape my mouth, half the time I wake up with an irritated throat, presumably because I've been snoring. Thanks for the video! RUclips suggests I watch next "5 Ways To Improve Your Breathing with James Nestor."

    I was a mouth breather since I started running.. but it took alot of time to realize that after almost each run I started sneezing non stop and alergic to many things and this was a big problem for me as it turned out that i might also have an asthma attack ( i am asthmatic now mild.. since age of 3 i was having problem breathing heavily).. but then realized alhamdulilla and started running while nose breathing and take flonase ( nasel liquid) to prevent alergic reaction of snoozing.. but now most days i get the workout done without any issue.. i run pretty fast 5ks mostly for my age ( 44 now) but now am able to run comfortably as thought while running and mouth breathing.. i am glad i switched.. i also have flesh growth developed in one nose hole blocking easy breathing .. but it never demotivated me from running... Alhamdulilla
    Point to note - nose filters most if not all allergens which otherwise would created an alergic reaction..

I'd try to find a pace where I could run 4 steps in, 4 steps out. Or a faster pace of 3 steps in, 3 steps out. My fastest long distance pace is 3 steps in, 2 steps out. That's a sweet rythym.

    I sing and try both nose breathing and mouth breathing, both single and combination of both same time and switch.
    Mouth is for fast paced emergency but nose is the ideal and should be trained fast paced.
    Mouth can lead to more infections and symptoms since the airway can't these outside creatures.
    The nose has hair and better protection plus it keeps the air hydrated which keeps the vocal folds in a better state.
    If you can, try to use your nose as it is the ideal, and next time you see a singer bring this up let them know if they are doing it wrong as proper technique information is vital.

      @@edge3037 Personally, I find all this 'hoopla' on nose breathing over-rated and even misguided, especially when exercising at intensity. I've read James Nestor's book and yes I agree, there's many benefits of nose breathing in general, when in a relaxed state, at an aerobic statee or even doing some short-structured nose breathing exercises as a training tool at higher intensity. But at a high intensity or prolonged intensity, James Nestor does not dismiss that mouth breathing is the most effective way of delivering the most oxygen to the body.
      I'm 52yo and I've been experimenting with all sorts of techniques in my distance running since the age of 14yo. Personally, I"ve found absolutely no benefit in my running (especially at threshold or above) doing nose breathing. And when I watch elite runners (i.e. 800m sprinters), at the end of a race they're sucking in air through their mouth ... some even hunched over doing the same. This is clear evidence that the way to get in the most oxygen is through the mouth, especially at a higher intensity (they don't walk around after a race causually breathing through their nose, assuming the lotus position!). I've also just watched a RUclips clip of an elite triathlete on the topic of breathing when running and not once did he mention nose breathing. He simply gave advice on being relaxed, relaxing arms, shoulders, etc, and importantly, concentrate on breathing ensuring it's deep into the belly to expand the diaphragm, and rhythmic.
      Nose breathing should be embraced any other time, but at threshold or above, the body requires oxygen and there's only one part of the body that delivers the most.

      I do not know why this wasn’t mentioned or talked about in the. Nose breathing is great for slow, endurance, long distances. Sprinting and top end athletics require breathing through your mouth. I use nose breathing to modulate my runs breathing through my nose and keeping my breath easy for the majority of my run. Then open my mouth and breath hard when sprinting and will then slow my pace and when I can breath easy through my nose again I know I’m back into my endurance zone and can either keep going at a steady pace or open back up and sprint again.

    im 43 and have come to nose breathing for two reasons one being that it may give me a more asthetic look and the other which is more important to me now is the ability to go longer and faster with less air. im not a runner i do cycle to work 30m and have started boxing and part of that is skipping ie boxer skip. i want to be able to do all this and not be as tired. i was always congested as a kid and so never developed this technique also no one told me aboit it before. ive been trying it a week or so now with focusing on breathing through nose. the last few days ive tried the mouth taping which made me anxious (remembering what it was like to be so congested but its actually been fine and ive been able to breath ok. i tried mouth taping for bed last night again really anxious about that but that was fine too and today it feels a lot more comfortable. what i did get that ya didnt mention is the nose strips that help keep ya nasel passages open they are only cheap £1 for ten uk so ive got these for when i get bloked up. also another thing that works is havin a pink salt candle thing in each room as the dust and crap in the air is sucked into it and so the air quality is better. im looking forward to developing my oxygen intake so i can box or skip longer and if it does make me look better thats a bonus

      I don’t believe so. When you adapt yourself to nasal breath, you are teaching your body to tolerate higher levels of CO2 in the blood. The higher levels of CO2 actually help you absorb more oxygen. If you exhale through your mouth, you lose the advantage of the extra CO2.

      to trigger the opening of your nasal passages: deep breath in, deep breath all the way out hold your breath/nose and rock your head gently until you have a medium strength urge to breath in(ideally 30-40 seconds) relaxed slow breath back in and out through your nose if possible for next couple mins. repeat 3 or 4 times. The paranasal sinuses are the main producers of nitric oxide. The healthy way to get more in your blood is breathing it in from your nose.

Currently training to lower my heart rate running 17.4km at 5:33 1km pace. Nose breathing is key for all fitness, yes this includes lifting. It's disappointing to see so many people who i look at should smash me running barley keeping up with me. I'd very much like to see some analysis done regarding treadmill vs track/ path for reference I only train treadmill and the results are there to prove the difference. The only thing I will agree with is natural elevation and oxygen reduction are huge for improvement I've got no defence against that

    Best combination for running imo is to breathe in through your nose and out through the mouth. Means you minimise the stale air (air you've already breathed in) while getting the benefit of cooler, filtered air through your nose. Takes a bit of effort but really helps especially on cold days to avoid very cold air burning your lungs

    Another one-method-fits-all kind of video. For some people the nostril walls come in contact due to the intake pressure decrease during heavy nose breathing, making it impossible to bring enough air into the lungs above a certain running load. The only way to run fast for those people is therefore to use mouth intake at least partially. Same goes for dairies, many people are fine with them?!
