is there some kinda of device or machine i can buy that can hopefully build up my lung capacity. hmmm. just now the thought of researching what those swimmers who hold their breath and try to dive as deep as they can do seems like a good place to start. i need some sleep now though. surpise me with responses when i wake up
What makes you think that your limit is your lungs? What sort of things are going on?

If you're running at a high cadence (or a cadence that is higher than you can ride efficiently) - for example - that can leave you out of breath.
