Now I knew I could manage my effort through rhythmic breathing with a great deal of success. I honed in on a the three-step method for faster running during that second marathon and ran an incredibly even 2:33:29. I continued to work on my rhythmic breathing technique during my runs while pursuing my master’s degree in physical education and exercise physiology, during which time I trained for my second marathon. I also trained for and ran my first marathon the winter before graduating and finished in a respectable 2:52:45. I developed a pattern of rhythmic breathing and began using it between my junior and senior years of college. So, what if I could create a pattern that coordinated foot strike and breathing such that I would land alternately on my left foot and then right foot at the beginning of every exhale? Perhaps I could finally get healthy. That made me think: My most frequent injury was to my left hip flexor.
