Exploring Breathing

My Computrainer sessions end tomorrow. I plan to spend the next few weeks outdoors, exploring breathing, and hills, on my performance rides. This is to see how I can use breathing to control feelings and improve performance.

Week 1
Use breathing as a way to control emotions:

• Noticing the rhythm
• Feeling the inspiration
• Relaxing any tension

Week 2
Experiment with different types of imagery around my breathing, in order to gather energy.

Week 3
Practice re-establishing an interrupted breathing rhythm, using breathing to relax into the effort again, using breathing to manage pain.
