When I was younger (before high school) I use to run ALL the time. It just came so naturally to me, that I kind of took it for granted. Now that I'm over weight and out of shape, I want to run so badly like I use to.
So, today I started to try to train myself into running regularly again by doing the run 1 minute, walk 4 minutes method. Pardon my language, but it kicked my ***! I'm thinking that this is probably a good thing for my weight loss, but here's my problem: after running, it feels like it's kind of hard to breath and it feels like my trachea (I think?) gets tight and sore. It goes away after a while, but it's very frustrating.
Is this normal for someone who's out of shape? Or is it possibly something more serious? I've considered that it might be exercise endued asthma, but it never seems to get THAT bad. If it's just normal, is there anything I can do to work past it? Or is it just something that'll go away eventually as I get more in shape?
Also, if anyone has any tip on trying to get back into running, for me, feel free to share!
