I am in track -Thrower- And Doing fairly good so far. But they put me in a relay last weekend. I was the second person to run. It was only 200 meters. I barely made it. And we came in second to last. I would love to have more endurance. And maybe be able to keep up with the rest of the track team for awhile. We run a little but nothing big. Is there anyway I can get more endurance with out throwing off my throwing...not a pun. I would love to run more. I can think more clearly, and my body feels better. I have severe asthema, I'm on controler medication and It helps alot but is there anything else I can do to get rid of the concealed feeling in my chest when I run?

It's all about starting small. When I started running, I could only run for 1 minute before I couldn't run anymore. My lungs would burn. I felt like I couldn't breath out. (Getting air in was no problem, just couldn't seem to breath out.)
Now I can run a mile and a half. It took running, then walking, then running again, then walking. I would work on this every other day, increasing my time of running every couple of days. It was my running plan. My advice to you is to find a running plan and stick with it. Build up. Don't worry about how little you can run; think of how much you can run. Little by little, you will be able to run more. Finally, work with minutes not miles. Time before distance. Run at your own pace, and build up. Don't run at a track runners pace if you aren't ready for it. I do about a 10-minute mile. I started out doing 13-minute miles. So, instead of your goal being run a mile, have it be run for 15 minutes. So, if you can run for two minutes at your own pace now, then build up to run 15 minutes at your own pace. Good luck!
