I have asmatha like that. I don't get it normally I only get it like once a year while I am running hard and in a high mold area (by the lake.) To aviod it ever showing up all I do is take singulair every day. It also helps me with my alergies so it works and I have done the last 3 marathons and a tri with no bothers at all.

there's alot of things that may factor into your shortness of breath,1. consider the tempature i know that when i run in the cold I have a much harder time breathing somthing a muff always helps with by heating the air going in before it hits the lungs also depending where the race was allergies are always a problem and in NJ mine are already screaming at me. the best thing you can do is do some on hand trails and find what works and don't count on that inhaler, remember no matter how long a docter is practicing thats all they ever do is just practice.lol

I carry an inhaller when I ride, and sometimes when I run. I find that I get it sometimes if I push really realy hard on the bike and am stressed outside of tris at the same time and it's a high allergy day. I've needed the inhaller once, maybe twice. But they aren't that heavy, so into the jersey pocket it goes.

Like others here when the temps are really hot, and there are a lot of particulates (or whatever the technical term is for crap in the air) I have a hard time breathing while running. I also find that the environment in the indoor pool where I swim is humid enough and laden enough with pool chemicals that I require the inhaler during swim training sessions.
These aren't terribly frequent, and yours might not be either, but you may experience something like this again, and it is good to have some sort of therapy like the inhaler to help you get through it.
Good luck!

What happens if someone does not have asthma, but they were to use an inhaler once?
If you get a flat, and don't have a tube, Suck it up and run it in!!!

This winter in NJ was rough. I got used to breathing the cold air, but when I stopped and went into a warm area I was hacking. Your lungs have to get used to the temperature and humidity change.

It depends on the inhaler medication. If you use the inhaler it will do the same thing it does for a person that needs it. It will open up the airway and reduce the inflammation of the trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, and the alveoli.
I had bronchitis a few weeks ago and ran a 5k in very cold weather. I was coughing non-stop and my running buddy who has mild asthma gave me his inhaler and it really helped.
I am not recommending to self prescribe, but it sure helped.

Using something like an albuterol inhaler should make the asthma symptoms go away, but other types of inhalers (e.g. Flovent) won't have any effect, as far as getting rid of the symptoms immediately, anyway. But that's just based on experience - I'm not an asthma-doctor, just an asthma-sufferer.

Does anyone else have this? I don't quite believe in it but that is what my doctor says I probably have. I was feeling out of breath during the run of the strawberry fields sprint but the problem was that I wasn't able to get enough volume into my lungs fast enough and that puzzled me. I was definitely feeling a "breathing through a straw" situation at mile 1 and I had to walk for about 1/4 mile. I haven't gotten this when I had been on the treadmill or on the bike or swim. I may have ahd this before when running outdoors but always attributed it to not being fit enough. However, I've been putting in some miles for the past months that I shouldn't have had to walk so early on. My bike portion went ok - I averaged 19.8mph on the flat 12mile course and I didn't feel that out of breath when I dismounted. My bike time put me in the top 1/3rd but my run time was in the bottom 1/3rd.
Anyway - The doc said it's not uncommon and wrote up a prescription for an inhaler which I purchased but haven't used. I'm usually fine when training so I'm wondering if it was a one time thing.
