It all depends i have been montoring mine for a while now, i've had to keep a diary on request from my asthma educator, and my aim is to get 400 i am always in the 300-400 area. Because my asthma was poorly controlled before i never got over 350 now i am always getting 400 since i got back on track.

Peak flow can also vary depending on personal technique.

Im trying to mix asthma and running very badly.

Im 31 years old Male, my peak flow before my run on friday was 460. I did 10minutes and my peak flow was down to 230. Which I am told is very bad.

i can only get to 360:( even on my best days!
