Winter Running Nasal Breathing Protocol
Winter running nasal breathing protocol warms dry air with nasal rhythm on easy cold runs—use a gaiter when wind chill is sharp.
Winter running nasal breathing protocol uses nasal inhale and exhale during easy and moderate cold runs to warm and humidify air while reducing dry-airway irritation. Hard intervals may need mouth breathing—alternate by intensity, not pride.
A thin gaiter adds backup humidification when wind chill is sharp. Practice nasal rhythm on treadmill before committing on icy paths.
Persistent wheeze still needs clinical review. Slow pace if nasal rhythm forces breath-holding.
