This may be exercise induced asthma, which is easily treated so that you can exercise in comfort.

...as good shape as I think I am in, if I took a run right now, I'd be hacking up a lung!
I did a Cage Fitness class one day, and definitely suffered and hacked up phlegm.0 -
haha made me laugh, I'm terribly unfit I gave up smoking a month ago so might have something to do with that as well0
