Primary Purpose
Build BREATH control capacity under increasing demand, useful for progressive intensity training and nervous system regulation.
Best Used During
- Indoor cycling or treadmill sets
- Controlled effort runs
- BREATH control blocks
- Structured warm-up drills
Training Implementation
Start with a BREATH pattern (e.g., 4:4). Increase to 5:5, 6:6, and back down. Each segment lasts 1–2 minutes. Monitor effort and maintain calm.
Progression Tips
Increase total BREATH count or duration. Use with progressive RPE effort increases (ladder structure).
Mindful Cue
“Climb the BREATH. Stay steady.”
