In August 2013, ex pro rugby player, David "Jacko" Jackson, suffered a brain injury during training which resulted in a seizure on the field and small bleed on the brain, which ultimately lead to his retirement from the sport. During his recovery Jacko discovered through the process of re-training and learning how to restore healthy breathing patterns, he fell in love with running again. Jacko is now a master Oxygen Advantage coach & mentor, from the acclaimed book Oxygen Advantage by Patrick McKeown. Jacko, also a Strength & Conditioning coach, found the connection between nasal breathing and running helped him re-connect with himself. In September 2022, Jacko completed a 3 day ultra marathon event, Ring of Fire, running a total of 135 miles around of Anglesey, North Wales. Between Breaths is the documentary that captured the Ring of Fire event and will be out in January 2023.
