That sounds like it would work. I have managed to do something similar with the urge to breathe during static and dynamic training. At first I couldn't get past the bad feeling, but now I can accept it and even welcome it... well, almost.

This is only if I have been training regularly - if I don't do much training, it is so much harder. The same applies to the cold. That is why I still go swimming, even if I don't like it, because it is much worse if I'm not used to it.
