Has anybody used an elevation mask (looks like a respirator) to improve their run time and if so has it worked? I'm considering investing in one shortly.

Running in a Gimp mask? I like your thinking!
Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, because you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup...

Good question, nothing, except... A broken toe... Well my PB is 10:25 but i'm wanting to get back to that and ideally push it even further, within a short time frame.

Fartleking had surely always been the cheap and easy way to improve your run time quickly without looking like twat?

How exactly is running in a gimp mask going to help your broken toe?

How about fartlek training, looking like a twat, wearing this? (And adopting that pose when I finish?)

Mate don't listen to these no-marks.
It's a sound investment just make sure you run in it during daylight hours and wearing your "TA, Be the Best" t-shirt.

I think i'm in love..... In all seriousness though, the broken toe thing is what has held me back and want a rapid kick up the arse to get better... I think you guys should admire my willingness to lose all my dignity in the name of phys Originally Posted by Whiskey_60
