If you get one, I'd be interested to know how things go for you...I'm thinking of doing an article for my club's newsletter on training aids and this is one of them...case study?

lunaman Jun 2012 10:55am, 19 Jun 2012 2,294 posts	Quote Pin lunaman Resurrecting an old thread here - I've had an awful stitch (both sides) lasting a mile or so in the middle of my last three races of Half marathon distance or thereabouts, not in shorter races, and had the powerbreathe recommended to help strengthen the diaphragm muscles. So I'm looking for shared experiences here please. One fellow runner suggested actually 'running' with it in ?!? Has anyone tried that?
S&S Jun 2012 11:24am, 19 Jun 2012 374 posts	Quote Pin S&S I got one as a belated birthday present. I'm onto Day 2, so don't know yet whether it works or not, but will give it a good try. I'm on setting number 1 at the moment, and that's enough! It made me quite dizzy!
lunaman Jun 2012 1:09pm, 19 Jun 2012 2,295 posts	Quote Pin lunaman Aha, good luck with it S&S - have you got it for overcoming stitches though?
S&S Jun 2012 3:32pm, 19 Jun 2012 376 posts	Quote Pin S&S No, lunaman, my stitches stay on the crochet hook! I hope this thing will help me get up the hills though. Without actually dying, like I normally do
