Could this type of lung strain cause suffocation while training?

I am about to start training under these conditions (im a runner) and wanted some advice first.
running on a treadmill, and attatching a mask that only lets a little air (the size of the tube) into my nose and mouth. at the end of the tube, i will have a blowdryer blowing hot air . i know this could be harmful to an ammeture, but i amwell trained. the question isn't wheather i will suffocate or not, but if this is healthy to do for 20 minutes straight.
Answer:
This sound harmful for anyone. You are using a blow-dryer. What does a blow-dryer do? Blow dry air that is also very hot. You want that going in your lungs, for what purpose on earth? If you are trying to get acclimatised to a hot environment. the entire body must be involved and it usually takes a couple weeks. I think the only thing you will achieve is a trip to one of two places: a hospital with permanent lung injuries: or a morgue with permanent death.
Your crazy. yes of course it could be harmfull. Under those conditions, you would probably pass out from too much heat and lack of oxygen.
If you are well trained, I would think that you would know what methods are safe for training which are not.
You are asking for trouble with the setup you have. Depriving your body of oxygen will never help.
