Does anyone have an advice or inpit for building up your lungs? I am trying to hold my breath for longer periods after reading an article about it but it seems like I should be doing more. I want to get better before I actually join the group in my area.

The hypoxic set will do what some girl said it would: nothing. It might however train your mind to function in a hypoxic mode. The hypoxic tent however is something else. I know a triathlete close by who bought one (expensive, something in the thousands of dollars). It would be like training up in Lake Tahoe and then sleeping in San Francisco, without having to commute. The science behind this concept is that to train as hard as you can, you should be at sea level, but while you are sleeping "high", your body will produce more red blood cells naturally. I've heard of it used in swimming, but not as much as in running and cycling. billy fanstone
