Breathing up hills

[Deanna]

I find that using pilates breathing techniques me on the hills, and has the added benefit of stabilizing my core. You can google "pilates breathing" for instructions, though most are geared towards mat work, you can learn to use it on the bike.

my bf always tells me to do the slow breathing thing and breath from my belly. if i actually concentrate on it and do it, i do great. if not i tend to have the same result as you.
