Now I use it myself after he trotted out pbs left right and centre and it's helped improve my breathe rate - especially up hills. But hey, it could all be in our minds...:-)

Helps to stop me getting stitch when running. don't know if it improves my performance other than because I don't have to stop due to unbearable stitch. If I don't use it for a while, i get stitches again, so it must be doing something!
