 This was a big effect, not a minor one. All future running was limited
 by my muscles, not my breathing.
 
 I can only assume that the 3 miles of struggling to get air in and out

yeah, you take in waaay more air through the nose then the mouth.  i also 
spent a few years running competitively, and that was crucial to learn.  it can 
be a bugger to remember that sometimes, though.
