RE: One step in Poland: December 5 2023
Thank you for explaining. Several years ago, our valley experienced smoke from wildfires that was so bad, you could not see the sun. We hiked unfortunately and from that point on (plus we have had the wildfire smoke ever since except for this past summer) I began to have more issues with breathing and hiking. A friend suggested it might be exercise asthma, which kind of makes sense, possibly brought on with the smoke.
I think I might give your technique a try as some of the hills in our everyday (or we try to do it at least 3-4 times per week) hike are well over 45 plus percent grade! There are 7 hills of that variety just to get up to the higher and a little flatter trails!
Take care and have a lovely day!
Ahh, sorry to heat about the smokes. It sure must have had an effect.
I don’t know about asthma, maybe that’s correct too, but I don’t like to be defined by the labels of issues/sicknesses. If it came out there is probably a way to make it go away is how I like to think. Of course, that’s not always easy or possible, but the best we can do is try.
I say that because this year I developed sudden allergies and have been struggling with them throughout spring/summer, until I found this holistic practitioner who helped me change my diet in such a way that allergies disappeared in couple weeks. I was blown away, seriously.
In the same way, I settled into thinking that it will take me 6-8 months before I’ll be able to run for half an hour without stopping, yet I got there within a space of a month!
Things can change pretty fast and drastically when we commit to changes and have the right person to guide us.
I do hope you’ll find the way to improve your breathing. It seems like hiking is your passion 🤩
There are also many breathing techniques in yoga. Maybe trying some of them would help too?
Take care of yourself 💙
