Anyone used a Powerbreathe? I've read they're like weight lifting for your lungs - works the muscles that help you take in more air. Don't know anyone who's actually used one though.

Hope this is of help - whether it justifies the £30 price tag is another matter though.
I for sure could work harder, could train harder..etc, etc.
I do appreciate the feedback though - just wanting to hear what people's experiences have been. Thanks to all.
If it gives me a 1% advantage, I have to think it would be worth it for £30.
In the overall scheme of things £30 for a 1% improvement would probably work out as one of the best/cost efficient tri purchases
Ron, where did you see it for sale for £30. I might give it a go and report back.

Although I normally don't like to give them any of my hard-earned. Google it and I think a few options come up. I also mentioned it to a personal trainer friend of mine just this evening, and she said that it does help. She runs a lot and takes a spin class 4 times a week, and she reckoned that she seen a benefit over 3-4 weeks.
Its conflicting info I'm getting here, which is why I posted here in the first place. All respect to the guys who know what they're talking about when it comes to all things training, but I'd also like to hear from a few more folks that have used the thing and have any positive or negative feedback.
Let me know how you get on.
It does put me in mind of those nose plasters footballers used to wear though. Loads of them worse them for a couple of seasons, then they all stopped apart from Robbie Fowler, and he gave up eventually.
p.s. like your profile pic - brilliant!
Think Paula Radcliffe still uses them for races. I've definitely seen her using them.
