I have done the Friel LTHR test about 6 times over the past 18 months. Each time I have mouth-breathed the entire run so that I could get the best performance over the time trial.
But when I do my normal runs I nose-breathe exclusively.
Should I be doing the Friel LTHR test while nose-breathing instead of mouth-breathing? Or does this not matter at all?

I think you should try hopscotching, alternating legs after each mile, probably why those africans are so good, hopscotching to school 10 miles each way and deceiving those stupid westerners to think you should just run and not engage in stupid bro-science performance tactics

I'll bite. You can't nose breath anywhere near LT. So yes, you have to open your piehole to get enough air. When you're doing endurance training, you can shut your piehole and take in enough air through the nostrils to supply O2 for the activity level.

I breath through my nose on every run and turn out just fine

No differences between breathing mode were observed for any power output or performance measures associated with the Wingate Anaerobic cycle test. Respiratory exchange ratio (RER) was significantly higher in the oral respiration condition from 10 seconds to 25 seconds during the test (p<0.05). On the other hand, heart rate (HR) in the nasal condition was significantly greater during the final two time intervals (p<0.05). Nasal breathing was effective in reducing hyperventilation as RER remained below 1.0. However, elevated HR with nasal breathing indicates increased cardiovascular stress associated with this mode. As breathing mode does not affect power output or performance measures during completion of a high-intensity anaerobic test, preference of the participant should be the determining factor if a choice is available.
The subject experienced a 17% reduction in FEV1 (Pre = 5.03 L/sec., Post = 4.17 L/sec.) following the OB GXT not seen following the NB GXT. This case study confirms the ability of a highly trained competitive triathlete to adapt to breathing restricted to the nasopharynx during running at both a maximal effort and a subsequent high level steady state effort without a loss in performance or peak aerobic capacity, as a means of inhibiting EIB.
During the SS85 trials the subjects exhibited a significantly better PE (P = 0.05) and no significant difference in lactate production, as well as a significantly lower mean VE/VO2 (p = 0.002) and VE/VCO2 (p = 0.002) with large effect sizes. This study supports the ability of recreational runners to utilize a nasally restricted breathing pattern at all levels of running intensity without loss in VO2max or GXT TE, and with superior PE and VE/VO2, following an extended training period using this practice.
The evidence suggests that exclusively nasal breathing is feasible for most people at moderate levels of aerobic exercise without specific adaptation, and that this breathing approach may also be achieved during heavy and maximal levels of aerobic exercise following a sustained period of use. Benefits of nasal breathing include a reduction in exercise induced bronchoconstriction, improved ventilatory efficiency, and lower physiological economy for a given level or work. The use of nasal dilation devices can increase the work intensity achieved during exercise while breathing nasally.
In Dallam’s study, participants were tested after six months using only nasal breathing, which meant their bodies had adapted to the practice. Results were taken when subjects breathed only nasally, and only through the mouth. Just like in the study that examined bronchoconstriction, default mouth breathing was ensured by asking each subject to were a nose clip. The results showed that:
- Breathing rate was much slower during nasal breathing than oral breathing. When the athletes nose-breathed during running, they took 39.2 breaths per minute, compared with 49.4 breaths per minute in oral breathing
- The percentage of carbon dioxide in expired air, called end tidal carbon dioxide, was much higher in the nose breathing trial (44.7mmHg compared with 40.2mmHg in mouth breathing)
- End tidal oxygen pressure was lower when participants nose-breathed. Less oxygen in expired air means that more of the inhaled oxygen is being absorbed into the bloodstream
- Speed of breathing was 22% lower in when breathing was through the nose
The results of the study also indicated that after six months exercising using only nasal breathing, the runners were able to achieve the same optimum oxygen consumption when they were mouth breathing.

I can absolutely nose-breathe all the way up and beyond my LT. Until about 18 months ago, I had a double deviated septum (multiple broken nose incidents) and that might account for this "ability."

How many of those studies involve people who are actually fast? I honestly cannot see why you wanna waste your time with this bullsh*t. Look at any endurance athlete going hard, how do they breathe?

How do you breathe when you're driving your mom's 30-year-old Ford Tempo with 296,000 miles on the odometer to your part-time job at Starbucks? Well, I mean in between low key crying about the hand life has dealt you.
