    Reduced Oxygen Training

    Any one ever try excercising in high altitudes or wearing on of those paint masks to make it harder to breath? or is this just something out of japanese comic books?

    I have asthma and i was thinking about a routine where i jump rope as fast as i can to start an asthma attack then go for a light 3 mile jog with my air flow restriced due to asthma.

    Do you think this will help my stamina? do you think i should take a few puffs of my inhaler and do another 3 miles with sprinting afterwards? do you think this is a bad idea?

    of my friends that smoke i find the ones that also exercise to have amazing stamina im thinking its because they smoke a cig then go for a jog then smoke a cig afterwards because of the smokeing perhaps their body is used to running on less oxygen

    Any opinions?

      yeah i guess its bad to cut off oxygen to the brain.

      I did the broad street 10 miler 2 weeks ago in philly with out my inhaler forgot it by accident. i ended up walking alot of the race finished in 1:46 which i consider alittle slow and i didnt try really hard just so at the end of the race i would still be in good shape breathing wise and not light headed. the next day my leg muscles were so sore all the way till thursday i was hoping that maybe it was because i wasnt able to take in as much air wheil i exercised

      maybe i could use the asthma in combination with an inhaler to overcome a stamina barrier by forcing my body to learn how to use the oxygen more efficiently

      but suppose i take the risk i mean its not like im not going to have my rescue inhaler on me and the attack isnt going to get worse its just going to chill out slightly restricting my air flow as long as i take it at a slow pace do you think the muslces could actually learn to run on less oxygen or do you think im just cutting of oxygen to my brain and nothing is changing with my muscles?

      i mean like in any of those high altitudes, or wearing that pant mask. do you think you actually use oxygen more efficently or do you think you just cut oxygen off from other parts of your body

        To even think about using reduced oxygen training (which is different to high altitude training) you need have an extremely high level of cardio vascular endurance.

        You also have to start of very slowly, gradually increasing the amount of time training in this way.

        And as for deliberately inducing an asthma atack.........That's just plain ******.

          what is reduced oxygen training? is that with the mask? what kind of cardio point should i be at? how is high altitude and reduced oxygen diffrent?

          as for asthma attack its not like omg i cant breath its more like some one put 5-10 lbs on my chest it just naturally happens when i do stuff like sprinting it gets alittle harder to breath but i can allways stop and walk and it slowly goes away. this would be sprinting or jumping rope then when i start to notice anything i stop and take a light pace for as long as i feel like jogging probably not more then 3 miles a day not much faster then walking 35-40 min.

          this way i have no need for the rescue inhaler and im exercising with reduced oxygen.

          you said what you said about the asthma and thats fine but if you can answer any of the first few questions that would be cool. Im considering climbing the applicaians every weekend jogging around for an hour well its 1 mile up 6 mile loop and 1 mile down at the delaware water gap i think but i dont even think thats all that high and its an hour+ both ways driving so if you can point me in other directions with similar training that would be awesome

                  My gym here in Quito, Ecuador is about 2900m or 9300ft above sea level. I run and train at this level but am so used it I do not notice anything. The Cubans train here at my gym occasionally for the supposed benefits of high altitude training. I dunno how I would go running or training closer to sea level to be perfectly honest.
