TAN #177: Crazier than the Calgary STANpede ... (Page 10)

i can't imagine how breathing stresses your leg.  however, at 11 min miles, i'm not doing any damage anywhere, i'm guessing!

i also only breathe on one side while swimming, but that is purely a shoulder flexibility issue.

In shape horny high school kids

It has to do with you tend to land harder when exhaling than when inhaling, if I recall correctly.  I just try to breath how ever I can.

actually....that makes sense.  even for a slow runner like me!

Sounds like you are gulping air because your abs are compressed for part of the stroke, you may be anticipating the compression and trying to get in a bunch of air before you get to bodies over..  First your abs should not be that compressed when you get to the catch , you back should be flat.  Make sure you are not rounding your shoulders either when you finish bodies over or lunging to it when you get to the catch.  I always have to remind myself to keep my chin up so I don't round my shoulders and collapse my core.  Also watch your breathing during the recovery, at a stroke rate of around 22/23 you should be able to take 2 decent breathes on the recovery.  Try counting 1 - inhale. 2 -exhale, 3 -inhale, drive -exhale.

i breathe in 4 and out 4 (or at least i try, usually only breathe out 2 because of my dumb assthma.)

Viet subs are the bomb diggity.

Does that include me?

Weird.  I'm getting back into visors again as well.  Mostly because of getting back into golf.  I have a couple cool ones from Silveman that I swore I would never wear and was disapointed I got them with my schwag.  But now I likes them.

I am still on the naughty list, a lovin'it

As long as you wear them to the side and have big sunglasses.

It makes your hair very managable....right?

The Japs did but they still lost BOOM!  

They did something like that a olympicse years ago AND they ran out.  They  needed to order another 15k of them.  Sounds like there is a HELLUVA lot of hooking up.  Man I wish I wan an olympic athlete.

Or I was thinking tham maybe they are expensive or hard to find in some countries so there could be hording?  I wonder.  I prefere to imagine the former.

I sort of learned how to squirt the bottle between my cheek and gums (like a delicious bit if dip) and that somehow keeps air from being swallowed.  But I'm like you, almost come to a walk to drink.

I wish I knew more to be able to contribute more.  So I may be speaking out of turn.

I've heard the partying is after competitions.

I can drink while running but it is much harder to take shots while running. Not impossible just harder.

better!
