Amazon's got some at the moment Monty - ranging from £24 to £38 (we've got the Power Plus £38 one). 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?

I got one. Had to start on the "weakling" setting and managed to get the dial towards "iron lung" (that doesn't really work does it). I'm not convinced that it actually improved my running though.

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? |

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!

Aha, good luck with it S&S - have you got it for overcoming stitches though?

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
