Anyone trying to do the C25K training with asthma? I am at week 4 for training and am having a problem with my lungs keeping up at the end of the second stint. Any suggestions?

    I have severe asthma and am on week 6. I think we have to build a tolerance in our lungs, so try slowing your pace. Perhaps try breathing diferently? In the beginning I had problems, I would pause the run, give my lungs a second to rest, then contioune it. Hope any of that helps.
