Summary
'I have no doubt this book will be a disruptor for the running world!"
Patrick McKeown, author of The Oxygen Advantage
‘Breathing is foundational to efficient, resilient running, yet few athletes truly understand it. This excellent and informative book fills that gap. It’s simple, smart, and grounded in real running’
Shane Benzie, author of The Lost Art of Running
BETTER RUNNERS BREATHE BETTER
Your breath is fundamental to physical and mental performance. How you breathe affects your efficiency, your perception of effort, your nervous system and more. Yet you’ve 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
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’ll learn how to ventilate more efficiently like an elite runner.
No matter your running experience, this book will unlock the key to running further and faster.

Critic reviews
Jacko is a fantastic coach, who’s been part of my coaching team that supported me to multiple gold medals and world records. Learning to breathe better is a game changer for your running.
A breathwork mentor to elite athletes
Jacko’s breathwork helped me defend my world title. Because I was always in control of the effort, I was in control of my body and in total control of my mind. It meant I could relax, enjoy and express myself on the world stage.
A thorough and highly practical guide to breathing for running. It will spark important conversations and influence progress in the sport for years to come … Jacko’s book is not only a guide to running. It is a guide to living well through breath. When used consistently, these practices can unlock easier pace, more enjoyable runs, better recovery and a deeper sense of flow.
I’ve been running marathons and coaching marathon runners for 40 years and never once has someone like David (an expert in breathing) explained to me and showed me how I can improve my breathing … David’s book has educated me on that! In fact, he’s taken me right back to school. In this book he presents the benefits of breath mastery with simplicity and clarity and has really made me think that learning to understand more about harnesses breath is something that runners can't afford not to do if they want their running to be better.
A fantastic guide and learning tool
Since working with Jacko the impact he’s had on my mental and physical feeling has been transformational. The techniques and education he has taught me have opened my eyes into how to breathe properly in certain positions and situations to improve my performance. Whether that’s mobility, controlling my breathing in the heat of the game or down regulation breathing, the impact has been absolutely brilliant.
A fascinating read … simple, exciting insights that will make you run faster and feel more relaxed whilst doing so
