Breathing issues

posted 9 months ago | Report

Hi everyone. I am currently in training for my first half marathon which is in 3 weeks. This past Sunday and yesterday I did longer runs (8 and 7 miles). Both runs I had issues with my throat closing up and having breathing issues. I was thinking seasonal allergies but I have never had anything like this happen before. My chest is totally clear, it's only in my throat. Anyone have any issues like this and what did you do to clear it up? TIA!

  I'm not sure if this helps but I was having issues with my throat burning and feeling like I couldnt breathe. Not sure if its the same thing but I started chewing gum. It helped a ton and I dont have the issue at all!!! I am now addicted to chewing gum while running but oh well I guess there's worse things out there :) Only certain gum seems to work for me, juicy fruit does not, I bought some the other day because they didnt have my Trident (the fruit kind with double layers). I used it during a 5k and it did not help at all!!!! Any ways I hope you find out whats going on and its an easy fix!!
