Breathe Smarter, Run Stronger is a ground-breaking practical guide for runners,  revealing the breathing techniques required for maximising running performance, whatever your level from Master Oxygen Advantage coach David ‘Jacko’ Jackson.

Your breath is fundamental to physical and mental performance. How you breathe affects perception of effort, efficiency, your nervous system and more. Yet you have probably never trained your breathing.

David ‘Jacko’ Jackson simplifies the science of respiration and gives you the practical tools for smarter breathing and stronger running. He takes you through the limitations of how we currently breathe and shows you how to specifically train your respiratory system. Through breathwork exercises integrated into your training – including mobility hacks to unlock your ribcage and tools to develop your diaphragm – you will learn how to ventilate more efficiently like an elite runner and take your running to the next level. No matter your running experience, this book will unlock the key to running further and faster.

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

David ‘Jacko’ Jackson is a former professional rugby player, now Master Oxygen Advantage coach and mentor. Jacko works with professional and international athletes and teams to improve their physical and mental performance through integrated breath training.
