  1. Will running with a dust mask help to improve VO2max or lactate threshold?

  2. It might help you pass out.

    I really don't think it will work.

    Actually...

    I wear one in the evening sometimes to keep from swallowing/inhaling bugs. I only wear it in the
    "high probability"areas of the run, but it doesn't seem to affect my breathing at all, it is just
    hot and uncomfortable.

    I used to see various people run in the park here with dust masks and wondered whether they had
    allergies or something. At times during the year we can get these tiny bug in clouds that you can't
    see until you mouthbreath some, after which time you can cough your head off for miles. So I never
    laugh at folks that wear a mask running or carrying a gun.

    Christine, This is the new millenium, where looks are unimportant. No matter how ugly looking you
    are, a mask in public is not required, except maybe

    bag (one size fits all.) Today we try to look at the person that's inside, not the wrapper.

    Also not a bad idea for people who have EIA (exercise induced asthma) running during the winter. The
    warmed air is a good thing.
