Posted: 03/05/07 - 09:51 Post subject: Overall fitness levels.
Those of you who saw my (re-)introduction post will know that I took some time off running, about a year. I started up again last night and I noticed that my general fitness has (obviously) dropped quite dramatically.
I have mild asthma that previously had never bothered me whilst running, but last night I was wheezing (as opposed to being out of breath), which I'm not putting down to my asthma getting worse but rather my fitness level being lower.
I struggled with my breathing and had a lot of phlegm on my chest/bunging up my throat.
Basically, what would you guys recommend I do to get my fitness back up? Sprints? Just carry on running, what?
I run every other day (well, I'm starting to again, as I had previously been doing) and I do the same loop every other night. Is it worth changing up my loop? Will this be beneficial do you think?
I do roughly 4 miles per run, every other night, about 3-4 times a week (depending on how busy i am on weekends)
Any/all help and recommendations are appreaciated.
Cheers!
