  • Hi! I too have asthma and recently started running. I did experience some lung pain but only when I wasn’t actually breathing properly or had trouble adjusting my breathing to my running pace. Are you sure your pain is asthma-induced? Have you talked to a doctor about this? Asthma normally would make your bronchi swell up and so you’d feel asphyxiated, and your muscles would give out due to the lack of oxygen. That’s how it manifests when exercising. If your lungs hurt but you don’t really experience any breathing difficulties, and you even feel like your muscles can continue, that doesn’t sound like something asthma would cause. Sorry I don’t really have any advice but as a fellow asthmatic runner, I’d look for another cause for that pain.









  • I actually wish you’d stay. Analyzing systemic patriarchal opression of women, internalized hatred of women and how it bleeds into our attitudes and way of thinking inevitably dabbles in generalization of the male behavior. I assure you 99% of women know not ALL men are the same. It’s the cultural implications that we need to look at. And culture is a general thing, applied in a bigger or lower degree to all individuals particularly in their childhoods.
