Climate Change and Training

All - Had a horrid run yesterday and think it had to do with not properly warming my breathing up before running in the cooler air. Chest tightened right up and made for a painful run! Only 3 miles and ran it at 9:06/mi pace when it should have been 8:30'ish.



Found this article. May be a "duh" think for you experienced runners, but news to me! Most of my training in Feb-April was indoor, so I never had to deal with this till now. Guessing the asthema has a little to do with it in my case, but perhaps not.....going out tomorrow and will try a different approach. Saturday's start is at 8am where it's expected to be 49 degrees.
