  • Nasal breathing has grown in popularity but is it as simple as nasal (nose) breathing is better than mouth breathing, especially during exercise. In this Between Breaths Podcast episode I delve into 5 scientific studies to show what the research says, yet combine that with what the practical application of the science is with my own ultra running training as well as those professional and international athletes I support with breath training for performance and recovery.

    Studies referenced;

    1995: Lower oxygen and greater carbon dioxide - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8599744/ 2015: Lower recruitment of Diaphragm with mouth brathing - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25900327/ 2016: Triathlete nasal breathing even at 100% intensity - https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Triathlete-Adapts-to-Breathing-Restricted-to-the-in-Hostetter-McClaran/7f1fd143f3652b6a79d87333ec8e70f0675bec6c 2018: Recreational runner nasal breathing at all intensities - https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Effect-of-Nasal-Versus-Oral-Breathing-on-Vo2max-and-Dallam-McClaran/d5c63c9c6816b7ae95b5626d66b49b8514cbcc8d 2024: Lower heart rate with nasal breathing - https://bmcsportsscimedrehabil.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13102-024-00840-6

  • We had a plan, a very detailed plan, one that if I followed would mean I'd run none stop for 24hrs covering 80miles up and down 8,000m of elevation on Yr Wyddfa aka Mount Snowdonia at the 3rd Annual #Snowdon24 event.

    In this podcast episode, I dive into the lessons learned from these types of ultra events and how those lessons can transcend into other areas of our life.

    I hope the lessons that the event taught me this time around can also be helpful for you.

  • On July 13th I'll be taking part once again in one of the BEST Ultra events in the UK, the Snowdon24 challenge. Very simply you go as fast as you can, for as long as you can within a 24 hour period up and down the Llanberis path to the top of Yr Wyddfa (aka Snowdon) and back down. Up and down is '1 rep' and has around 1,000m of elevation and 10miles for each rep!

    Last year I managed 6 reps and the winner hit 8 reps... so guess how many I'm aiming for this year?! I'll give you a clue... I'm asking for 8 people to come and support me on a rep, walk, jog, run with me to help support me and the brain injury charity Head of Change that I'm supporting and raising money for again. To donate and learn more about the charity and my own brain injury experience check out my just giving page here - https://www.justgiving.com/page/jacko-snowdon24-2024

    If you'd like to come and support the event and me on 13th to 14th July then please get in touch on instagram or drop me an email at [email protected]

  • Simply completing an Ultra marathon like the Dragon’s Back running across the spine of the entire length of Wales, covering all the highest mountains in the country is a hell of a physical and mental achievement… it’s rated as the toughest ultra marathon in the world and we are blessed today to speak with James Nobles the winner of the Dragon’s Back last year - at his first attempt!

    James has an incredible story and many lessons to be learned from his progressive and consistent approach to ultra running training. I couldn’t wait to speak to him and find out, what it was like to win an event like the Dragons Back and can’t wait to hear your feedback once you’ve listened.

    Are you inspired to take part in an event next year?

    I’m planning a few for 2024, not the Dragons Back just yet but I hope to run Snowdon24 again and a few others - what are you planning?

    Fancy joining me in Snowdon24 is 13-14th July 2024!?
