    ok uphill althete’s and experts (more than me)
    thoughts on this? i was browsing youtube and came across a video of the real reason why your out of breath running…… i’m not sure i buy into the bolt score….. i think it has to do more with cardio base but what do i know… i’m just new to this….

    the bolt score is if you take a normal breath in and out then plug your nose and time yourself until you feel the need to breath, it should be 40 seconds according to this guy…

    Smells like shyster to me. Maybe he sells more at 40 seconds than 20 seconds.

    I’m going to err on the side of decades-old Olympic-level endurance training methods from repeatedly successful coaches.

    i thought so…. like i said i felt it was more what you said about endurance and cardio base more than anything

    Yeah I scored really poorly on the BOLT test. I decided not to worry about it too much but I am working on breathing through my nose more. I mean according to that dude I shouldn’t be able to walk across a room let alone run while nose breathing at a moderate altitude. So I took his advice with a big grain of salt.
