I've decided to experiment with making breathing the focus to build mental toughness.
Ever since I've been doing endurance sports, right back to school cross country I've had a habit of heavy breathing. It's proved pretty effective and has been a feature of all my rides. Last year on a trip to the Alps I got the nickname of "steam train" as folks could hear me before they could see me.
Still I've always thought that I may be overdoing it and could be wasting energy.
So I'm going to work on a more focused method based on a suggestion from Graham Obree's recent book.
tbh I'm not convinced by his claims for the approach based on physiology but I think the focus needed will be a useful distraction from the pain of hard efforts.
