Got oxygen? Breathing Oxygen Plus (O+) pure recreational oxygen is a great way to help boost your running performance. Whether you’re heading off on a short afternoon run or training for a marathon, recreational oxygen has been proven to help athletes with endurance training and muscle recovery. Here are some additional ways recreational oxygen can push you through your next big run:
Serious runners know the brain and body need the right amount of energy to thrive. In fact, a 2015 study proved that elite Kenyan runners have greater brain oxygenation during running, which could account for their ability to perform better during long-distance runs (Cerebral Oxygenation). When you’re taking on a 26.2-miler, you’ve got to be prepared for a dip in oxygen. Breathing O+ oxygen before, during and after your run can help keep your brain – and body – fully oxygenated for better sport performance and faster recovery.
Getting ready to take on a high-stakes sprint? O+ can help. Here’s how: A runner sprinting a 40-yard dash, for example, is most likely not focusing on breathing and in turn not absorbing as much oxygen as is required for peak performance. Loading up with pure, recreational oxygen before and after you sprint can keep your mind and body well-fueled when breathing isn’t at the forefront of your mind.
