Show Notes

Sarah and Coach Amanda take a breather with James Nestor, author of the fascinating book Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art. In this eye- (nose?!) opening conversation, James details: 

-the astounding negative effects of breathing in an abnormal way;

-the power of breathing through your nose, not your mouth; 

-how to (slowly) morph into a nasal breather while running; 

-solutions for side cramps; and,

-insightful breathing advice for asthmatics.

Sarah and Amanda kvetch about the difficulties of dressing to run in mercurial spring weather in the intro. The sonorous-voiced James joins at 12:19.
