What an incredible session with Coach Melanie this week! We dove deep into one of the most challenging aspects of running: keeping your breathing under control when the terrain gets tough and fatigue sets in.
Key Takeaways:
Coach Melanie broke down the science and practice of stress management through breath work, with a special focus on hill running. The game-changer? It's all about those strong exhales and finding your controlled rhythm. When we actively push air out, the inhale takes care of itselfâand our bodies stay calmer even when the effort ramps up.
We put theory into practice with simulated hill running and high knees exercises, giving everyone a chance to feel the difference these techniques make in real time.
The Tension Reset Technique:
One of my favorite moments was learning Coach Melanie's tension reset method:
- Drop those shoulders
- Unclench the jaw
- Place your tongue on the roof of your mouth
Such simple cues, but they create an instant shift in how our bodies handle stress!
Get Ahead of the Challenge:
Coach Melanie emphasized the power of anticipationâgetting ahead of breathing challenges before they overwhelm you. Don't wait until you're gasping on that hill; start managing your breath before you need to.
