Since W1R1 my breathing has been what I will euphemistically call "difficult". Forget breathing patterns, I'm lucky to get enough oxygen to remain conscious. As the runs got longer, I was becoming more and more suspicious of my old bug-a-boo, asthma. Specifically, EXERCISE INDUCED asthma. More info here.... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exerc...
After an 8 week draught, it rained last night...the "cats and dogs" type enough to put the humidity at 80% this morning and the "breakthroughs" type enough to convince me that the only way I was going to be able to run 30 minutes was by using my asthma inhaler.
Wow....what a difference. Except for "the HILL", I barely wheezed. I felt so good that when I looked at my Garmin I did a double-take...it said "32:11". I had added another loop to my course, aiming for 5k eventually, so I continued...running. Final tally, "36:26, 4.5k"
I'm happy...

Well done you, having suffered from asthma all my life (whooping cough as a baby) I don't have the option NOt to take my inhalers before exercise. They do help, they stop the onslaught of a bad attack so take a couple of puffs before a run. Its not admitting defeat, its being sensible because a bad attack while out jogging could be nasty.
Well done, keep going your just about there. I've got my bottle in the fridge cooling to celebrate with you.
