Ep #41 Breathwork in Elite Sports (including ALL BLACKS) with Nigel Beach

We just finished teaching the first ever Oxygen Advantage certification in New Zealand together and I got the chance to sit down with fellow master trainer Nigel Beach for this epic podcast. Nigel is a coach that's been using breath training with elite athletes across the world for longer than anyone else I know! He's a legend within sport in New Zealand and Australia, a physiotherapist who specialises in helping athletes take their physical and mental performance to new levels. He's worked with some of the greatest athletes in the world, many international rugby players and teams including the New Zealand Allblacks. Nigel isn't just a legendary physio and coach, he is a legend of a human that hosted me and my wife for our stay in Mount Maunganui, where we not only shared his world renowned sauna and ice bath but also his BBQ skills.

Nasal breathing has grown in popularity but is it as simple as nasal (nose) breathing is better than mouth breathing, especially during exercise. In this Between Breaths Podcast episode I delve into 5 scientific studies to show what the research says, yet combine that with what the practical application of the science is with my own ultra running training as well as those professional and international athletes I support with breath training for performance and recovery.

We had a plan, a very detailed plan, one that if I followed would mean I'd run none stop for 24hrs covering 80miles up and down 8,000m of elevation on Yr Wyddfa aka Mount Snowdonia at the 3rd Annual #Snowdon24 event. In this podcast episode, I dive into the lessons learned from these types of ultra events and how those lessons can transcend into other areas of our life. I hope the lessons that the event taught me this time around can also be helpful for you. Thank you to podcast sponsors HMN24 for giving Between Breaths podcast listeners 10% off all there products.

On July 13th I'll be taking part once again in one of the BEST Ultra events in the UK, the Snowdon24 challenge. Very simply you go as fast as you can, for as long as you can within a 24 hour period up and down the Llanberis path to the top of Yr Wyddfa (aka Snowdon) and back down. Up and down is '1 rep' and has around 1,000m of elevation and 10miles for each rep! Last year I managed 6 reps and the winner hit 8 reps... so guess how many I'm aiming for this year?! I'll give you a clue... I'm asking for 8 people to come and support me on a rep, walk, jog, run with me to help support me and the brain injury charity Head of Change that I'm supporting and raising money for again. To donate and learn more about the charity and my own brain injury experience check out my just giving page here - https://www.justgiving.com/page/jacko-snowdon24-2024 If you'd like to come and support the event and me on 13th to 14th July then please get in touch on instagram or drop me an email at [email protected] Thank you to podcast sponsors HMN24 for giving Between Breaths podcast listeners 10% off all there products.
