I've got a fever...
On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.

"I've been following Eddy's improvement over the last two years on this site, and it's been pretty dang solid.

Shut up and run

Bumping a 13-year-old thread! So, has anyone tried using the PowerBreathe and/or inspiratory muscle training to improve their fast-running capability? An article came out this year which made me consider it. (I already run plenty of mileage but my speed tolerance could use help.)

I'm wondering if its use might reduce perceived effort when running fast, because I'd be teaching myself to suck wind, literally.
