Hey Patrick, I read James Nestor's book Breathe about 3 years ago and switched to nose breathing as a result. Of course, I have no 'scientific' evidence to present (I believe he has already done that), but I can say that it has improved the rate at which I breathe and the recovery time to return to normal breathing. There is a long, steep hill that is the final approach to my home, so all my rides end with an approximate 15-minute climb up this. It took me a good 4-5 months to fully make the transition to breathing solely through my nose from the bottom to the top of this climb, but since I feel my breathing is slower, more even, less strained, and offers quicker recovery at the top. Of course, this is only anecdotal, but I see no compelling reason to switch back to slack-jawed mouth breathing.
The book is worth a read. Cheers, John On Saturday, March 14, 2026 at 3:33:00 PM UTC-7 [email protected] wrote: > I seem to recall Grant writing about this in an old RR.
