Week 8.... breathing trouble

[Rider2015]

So after run 1 this week I felt so good and was walking back after my 5 min cool down walk and stopped and was talking to a neighbour. I completely lost my breath, I couldn’t get anything into me and I went really dizzy, I just walked away as was only a few houses away from home and struggled to breathe the whole way back. This morning I went out for run 2 and got to about 15 mins (just over half way) and couldn’t breath at all nothing was going in and I was making the strangest of noises as I tried to breathe. I stopped my run at 16 mins and called to get picked up as again I went dizzy and couldn’t breathe.... I feel defeated but 16 mins would have been impossible a few weeks ago and I’m proud of what I’ve achieved. My breathing is good while I’m running I feel so this is very strange.

I’ve called the doctors about this but has anyone else got tips on what to do about this?

How is your hydration and general health?

Your doctor is in a better situation to assess this than any of us and has the expertise.
