'Learning to breathe better is a game changer for your running ... Jacko is a fantastic coach'
– Richard Whitehead MBE, Paralympic champion & world record holder

'Absolutely brilliant… Since working with Jacko the impact he’s had on my mental and physical feeling has been transformational’ – George Ford, England Rugby international

TRANSFORM YOUR BREATHING AND UNLOCK THE KEY TO RUNNING FASTER OR FURTHER

If you always feel out of breath when you go on a run and don’t seem to make any progress, it might be because of your breathing and not your actual fitness. Your breath is key to your sporting performance and beyond, from affecting fatigue levels, recovery and sleep to connecting to your nervous system and combatting stress.

Breathe Smarter, Run Stronger will give you the practical tools and underlying theory to understand how to breathe better. Former professional rugby player, now Master Oxygen Advantage® coach, David 'Jacko' Jackson takes you through the limitations of how we currently breathe. He reassures you that, just like any other system and muscle group in the body, you can train your respiratory system and strengthen your breathing muscles.

Through clear exercises and techniques integrated into your training schedule you can:

· ventilate more efficiently like an elite runner
· learn about the two most important but overlooked muscles in the human body to strengthen your breathing mechanics
· discover the relationship between your running cadence, breathing efficiency, running posture and running economy.

Better runners breathe better, and this is your guide to becoming one.

Review :
Jacko is a fantastic coach, who’s been part of my coaching team that supported me to multiple gold medals and world records. Learning to breathe better is a game changer for your running. Jacko’s breathwork helped me defend my world title. Because I was always in control of the effort, I was in control of my body and in total control of my mind. It meant I could relax, enjoy and express myself on the world stage. I’ve been running marathons and coaching marathon runners for 40 years and never once has someone like David (an expert in breathing) explained to me and showed me how I can improve my breathing. A fantastic guide and learning tool Since working with Jacko the impact he’s had on my mental and physical feeling has been transformational. The techniques and education he has taught me has opened my eyes into how to breathe properly in certain positions and situations to improve my performance. Whether that’s mobility, controlling my breathing in the heat of the game or down regulation breathing, the impact has been absolutely brilliant.
