## Resource

Breathing coach David ‘Jacko’ Jackson joins Andrew Tracey and Ben Shephard to explain why most of us are breathing wrong – and how fixing it could transform your running, recovery and overall performance. From cutting down your 5K time to reducing stress and improving sleep, Jacko breaks down the simple changes that can make hard efforts feel easier. We dive into breathing rate, CO₂ tolerance, nasal breathing, and why ‘just get fitter’ might be missing the point. If you want to run better, recover faster and feel more in control under pressure, this one’s worth your time. Breathe Smarter, Run Stronger: Breathwork to Transform Your Running is available on Amazon now Want more from Men’s Health?
