Hi Rich,
I've had the PowerBreathe Ironman for about 8 months now. It's hard to say if it's worthwhile or not. To try and explain.....
When I first started using it I struggled to do 30 breaths on resistance level 1-2 without feeling dizzy , however I am now able to do it pretty consistently on level 4-5 without any issues. In practical terms, I now find my breathing on long climbs and fast sprints a lot more bearable and dont really suffer from the lung burning that I used to.
I'm not sure if that improvement is due to the Powerbreath or if it is just due to me pushing myself for longer and harder and naturally improving. However, as I have notice an improvement I will continue to use it in case it is making the difference!!

I suppose the best way to mesure improvements would be to get a peak flow meter as well. I have a powerbreathe and have used it a lot for rowing. Pretty good tool IMO0
