PowerBreathe

I have started using the new PowerBreathe Sports performance Plus.

Does anybody have a PowerBreathe and is anybody using it at the moment?

What sort of results are you finding from it?

I have one and use it about twice a week, if I can remember.

pirate had some good results from it I believe and the boys trained by Edie use it, Alex Brown was even using it during his warm up for birc.

The science seems pretty good.

I had decent results last time I used it IIRC.

Hopefully it will kick me on....

Used it twice a day for 3 months at first and noticed considerable improvement in my breathing strength. Started at 1 and worked up to 4 on the 1-10 scale. Now its once daily and I guess the results were good when combined with serious training on the 2K IP. 6:42 down to 6:29.9. Also used it as part of my race warm up, knocked down to 3. I'll certainly keep using it.

For the record, as I have nowhere else to put this, I am now on day 3 of 42 of using my Powerbreathe sports performance plus. Currently struggling on level 1.

On day 42 I should be near to PB form

Cheapest place to get one is off Amazon.

Diaphragm

I think I have a injury to my Diaphragm, and it could be linked to my recent illness, which I thought was viral, but at a visit to Sports Physio recently, eliminating external muscle problems, there was a strong suspicion I may have overdone my use of Powerbreathe..

Presently not used it since BIRC. In the time I did use it, 6 weeks upto BIRC 2007, I went from 1 to 3.5. I worked hard, once a day, NEVER felt any pain or discomfort.. just have this nagging doubt now as to "if" I over did it ?

I have one which i use fairly regularly, think im on level 6 at the minute which i struggle to do the full 30 on. Only use once per day but i find my times improve when i use it.

Very much doubt it Birky.
For starters you didn't even do the prescribed programme of twice per day. Further to that, you where fine at BIRC and it is a long time since you last used it so you would have more than recovered by now if you had strained something.
