Hypoxic training might just help a little, and according to Maglischo, optimal training effect as such is reached within a few weeks. He also advices that it places a demand on your body and can wear you down. I do train for several weeks awhile before meets with these sets but I still require two to three breaths for a LC 50 so I've been trying to learn how to breathe better while sprinting
are you breathing every 2 for your distance events?
Not sure if you were directing this at me Steve, but yes I breathe every 2 strokes for 100. I also take 2 breaths LC 50, the 1st at 25, and the 2nd at about 80M. I could do it in 1 but the cramping pains are too distracting. The top (younger) guys tend not to breathe at all, I wish :)
