What if the key to running further, calmer, and healthier wasn't in your legs — but in your nose?
In this episode, Patrick McKeown sits down with Dr. Bill Hang: orthodontist, airway pioneer, and marathon runner approaching his 80th birthday.
After hearing Patrick speak 15 years ago, Bill made two decisions that changed his life — taping his mouth at night and running with his lips sealed.
He's since run the Boston Marathon multiple times breathing entirely through his nose, including once with his mouth taped the whole way.
But this conversation goes far beyond running. Dr. Hang shares why he walked away from traditional extraction orthodontics, how forward jaw development can transform a child's airway, and what every parent should know before agreeing to have their child's teeth removed.

What happens when an overactive mind, guilt, and addiction take over completely?
In this episode, Patrick McKeown speaks with John O’Hegarty about a life that moved from philosophy and curiosity… into addiction, bank robberies, prison — and eventually recovery through breath, movement, and meaning.
John shares, in a very real and unfiltered way, how addiction changed his thinking, how rationality disappeared, and how actions that once felt unthinkable became normal. He talks about the mindset behind it — not to justify it, but to help people understand what actually happens when someone is deep in that state.
They also explore what came after: how he rebuilt his life inside prison how meaning, structure, and movement became anchors and how breathing became a tool to create space from the mind
This is not just a story about addiction. It’s a conversation about the human mind, the need to escape it, and how we can learn to regulate it.
In this episode:
how addiction overrides rational thinking the “suspension of the voluntary mind”
prison, structure, and rebuilding from the inside
Viktor Frankl and the role of meaning
breathing and its effect on mental state
cold exposure and learning to tolerate discomfort
why so many people today struggle with overthinking
John now brings both lived experience and professional training to his work, supporting others through breathwork, movement, and recovery-focused practice.

Discover how changing your breathing can transform your running performance, recovery, and overall enjoyment of the sport. In this conversation, Patrick McKeown (author of The Oxygen Advantage) interviews David “Jacko” Jackson, former professional rugby player, strength & conditioning coach, and author of “Breathe Smarter, Run Stronger” (out March 12, 2026). They explore: How Jacko accidentally knocked over a minute off his 5K time in four weeks just by changing his breathing—not his training volume Why most runners (from recreational to elite) are leaving performance on the table by ignoring breathing The difference between breathing rate vs. tidal volume and why deeper, slower, more efficient breaths can reduce perceived effort and breathlessness How nasal breathing improves oxygen delivery, running economy, and recovery—and when it makes sense to switch to mouth breathing at higher intensities The role of the diaphragm, rib cage mobility, and posture in breathing efficiency and running mechanics Why CO₂ tolerance, air hunger, and breathing muscle effort are key levers for controlling pace and effort How breath holds and “anaerobic” breath training can boost repeat sprint ability and lactate handling in team and endurance sports Practical ways Jacko integrates breathing into daily life, sleep, easy runs, hard sessions, and recovery Whether you’re a casual jogger or a competitive athlete, this episode shows how training your breath can help you run faster, feel better, and recover quicker—without just adding more miles. #oxygenadvantage, #breathwork, #runningperformance, #nasalbreathing, #endurancetraining, #runnersofinstagram, #marathontraining, #5ktraining, #vo2max, #diaphragmaticbreathing, #functionalbreathing, #sportsperformance, #recovery, #mentalhealth, #asthma, #rugby, #strengthandconditioning, #breathingexercises, #runningtips, #runstronger

Patrick McKeown meets James Nestor, author of Breath The new science of a lost art
James Nestor is the author of a new book on breathing called:
Breath: The new science of a lost art : https://www.mrjamesnestor.com/breath
James Nestor is an author and journalist who has written for Outside Magazine, Men's Journal, The Atlantic, National Public Radio, The New York Times, Scientific American and more.
Nestor’s new book, Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art, will be released through Riverhead/Penguin Random House on May 26, 2020. It explores how the human species has lost the ability to breathe properly over the past several hundred thousand years and is now suffering from a laundry list of maladies — snoring, sleep apnea, asthma, autoimmune disease— because of it. Nestor travels the world to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it. The answers aren’t found in pulmonology labs, as we might expect, but in the muddy digs of ancient burial sites, secret Soviet facilities, New Jersey choir schools, and the smoggy streets of Sao Paulo. Drawing on thousands of years of medical texts and recent cutting-edge studies in pulmonology, psychology, biochemistry, and human physiology, Breath turns the conventional wisdom of what we thought we knew about our most basic biological function on its head.
Nestor has appeared on dozens of national radio and television shows ― including ABC’s Nightline, CBS Morning News, and dozens of NPR programs. More at mrjamesnestor.com.

Dr. George Dallam holds the rank of Distinguished Professor in the School of Health Science and Human Movement at Colorado State University – Pueblo (CSUP). He has taught a wide variety of classes in exercise physiology, research and statistics, behaviour facilitation, sport psychology, kinesiology, biomechanics, management, exercise assessment and prescription, swimming, running and triathlon. He is past chair and an ongoing member of the CSUP Institutional Review Board, as well as being the longtime chair of the CSUP Faculty Compensation Committee. He is also the former inaugural National Teams Coach for USA Triathlon and continued to work for many years with elite U.S. triathletes as a coach, advisor and consultant while at CSUP. Athletes coached directly by Dr. Dallam have included National Elite and Age Group Champions, Olympians, Pan American Games Medalists, World Age Group Champions and the top ranked male triathlete in the world in 2005-2006, Hunter Kemper.
Dr. Dallam has been involved in numerous research studies and the publication of their results at both CSUP and the USOC examining various aspects of triathlon performance and training, diabetes risk factor modification, and the effects of functional movement improvement on running . His primary research interest recently is focused on the capability of human beings to adapt to nasal only breathing during exercise as a way to improve both health and performance.
In this fascinating episode, George Dallam takes us on a journey that began in 2005, when frequent health issues pushed him to explore the unexpected benefits of nasal breathing. Over the course of six months, George transitioned to nasal breathing during exercise, resulting in remarkable improvements in his cycling and running performance, as well as a significant reduction in sinus infections.
Join us as George shares insights from groundbreaking studies that reveal how nasal breathing can reduce VO2 max by 10%, yet increase efficiency by helping athletes achieve 85% of their VO2 max at a lower ventilation rate. He also dives deep into the physiological benefits, from improved blood flow and cognitive function to reducing cardiac fibrosis.
But the path isn’t always smooth—George discusses the challenges athletes face when making the switch from mouth breathing to nasal breathing, and why gradual adaptation is key to avoiding hypoxia.
Whether you're an athlete or just curious about how breathing affects your health, this episode will leave you inspired to try nasal breathing for yourself. Plus, George shares practical tips like using nasal dilators and taping for better adherence.
Tune in to discover how something as simple as breathing through your nose could transform your performance and well-being!
