Anybody else who struggles with exercising more so with having asthma? I always seem to end up with a chest infection when I start exercise, any tips? And breathing techniques for running would be a help? :)

I’m asthmatic but found my asthma is more controlled now with my increased exercise levels . I breathe in though my nose out through my mouth , if I feel my chest getting tight I slow done but keep going. Good luck
