Chest stings just starting out.

[jjb1983]

Hi guys,

Does anyone get a stingy feeling in the chest and throat when running?

I'm 34 does this mean I'm unfit lol.

Anything I can do to stop this?

Welcome to the forum and well done on getting started.

This guide to the plan is essential reading healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

I don't know what the cause of your issue is, but you may find it doesn't persist. The recommended pace for C25K is an easy conversational pace, as explained in the guide and that pace may make breathing easier.

Enjoy your journey.

Welcome. I don’t know either, but slowing down helps with lots of issues as we start this.
