Requires Getting Out of Your Comfort Zone
I am use to running 2/2, and after 2 runs trying on 3 inhales & 2 exhales (3/2) and 2 inhales & 1 exhales (2/1), I dont know if it would make any difference. What I know for now is that:1. The 3/2 pattern has been challenging in the inhale part since 3 steps for that feels "too long"2. The 2/1 pattenr has been challenging in the exhale part since 1 step to let go of air feels a bit short3. When I am in a point of zone 4 and 5, I am tempted to take longer exhales (the pause part right after the exhale cycle) which diverts my focus, became unrhythmetic and uncontrollably brings my heart rate in a creeping state (rather than flatlined on a high pace, it keeps going up)4. I am still challenged to take longer inhales versus exhales. It seems harder. At least a balance of inhales and exhales seem to be in many runners' comfort zone.This book has lots of training program & encourages to "listen" to our body (breathing & heart rate) and to leave our watch & music player at home. We are to run to our condition.What I am skeptical about is that I dont know, at almost age 46 now, if the odd number rhythm of breathing will raise my VO2 and beat my personal bests for 5k & 10k (the distances I run). What I am sure is that whoever trains most (without overtraining), disciplined, will prevail - regardless of their breathing rhythm in running.But, I will give the 3/2 and 2/1 concepts a try and see how I do in time. More updates to come.
