Breathe better in 10 Days – and feel less out-of-breath.

This Training Plan is part of a larger "10-Day Challenge" hosted on our Basecamp training platform. If you want to learn more, click here: https://basecamp.recal.training/posts/day-breath-challenge-free-10-day-breathwork-training-course

Do you often feel out of breath… despite your training efforts?

You’re not alone. Many athletes — even well-trained ones — run into this same wall. And here’s the key: being out of breath doesn’t mean you’re out of shape.

That's because breathlessness isn’t just about fitness. It’s about how well your body actually uses the air you breathe — and that’s trainable

I'm Anthony Lorubbio, the head coach at Recal Training. Our mission is to bring the science of better breathing into mountain training. To date, I've helped hundreds of athletes, recreational and professional, train smarter, climb higher, and adventure safer in the mountains.

In this FREE 10-day Training Plan with me, "Coach Anthony," you’ll recalibrate the way you breathe — both biomechanically (how your body moves oxygen) and biochemically (how you utilize oxygen and CO₂).

In just 10 days, 15 minutes per day, you’ll make adaptations in your body to:

Feel less out-of-breath on runs, climbs, hikes, and more

Improve oxygen delivery to your muscles for better endurance

Strengthen the muscles you use to breathe (yes, they’re trainable)

Recover faster between efforts

Move with more efficiency and confidence

How it works:

Start by taking a breathing assessment: the CO₂ Tolerance Test (CO₂TT): https://basecamp.recal.training/posts/day-breath-challenge-assessment-the-co%E2%82%82-tolerance-test
- No equipment needed. Ideally, you would do this in the morning before food or caffeine.

Training Block 1 (Days 1–5):
Build the foundation with proper breathing mechanics, diaphragm strength training, and light CO₂ tolerance work.

Training Block 2 (Days 6–10):
Dive into higher-intensity strength-training and breathwork training exercises.

After Day 10: (before food or caffeine) Re-take the CO₂TT to see your progress — and feel it in your every-day life.

No equipment needed (although optional tools like the Buteyko Belt or SportsMask can take your training farther). You’ll get guidance videos, clear instructions, and the science behind why each exercise works.

No fluff. No gimmicks. Just research-backed, athlete-tested breathwork that gives you a measurable result at the end.

I urge you to dedicate to 10 days of training and experience the immense benefits of better breathing.
