This is an interesting experiment. I myself never tried that because
in my case strelnikova is usually done in the evening, while
running and stick-exercises mornings. I will try to do what you say,
a round of SE before running.

What I did notice that even doing SE not immediately before running,
but just regularly has changed my habit of breathing. I started
breathing in through my nose involuntary when I run with moderate
intensity (which is the most common way for me). The style of
breathing also became more Strelnikova-like. It is hard to describe
the change, but in overall it is more easy and effortless.

Yevgen
