run a marathon
A question about this goal: I have VERY over-sensitive lungs and want to avoid (training-limiting) infections however possible, especially when the weather gets cold. Any advice? Thanks for all the great advice here and Thanks, Plantapixie, for asking such helpful questions! July 30th, 2006 06:53

hey,

I strongly recommend talking to your doctor about this—assuming that your doctor isn’t one of the ones whose generic answer is “stop running”. If your doctor is not helpful, then go to a sport medicine doctor. They will be able to give you helpful advice.

elizabethmerchant is having a great day.

I agree that a sports medicine doctor is a good idea. I run with one friend (did a marathon with him in April) who has asthma and keeps his inhaler close by. We usually do the Galloway formula for run/walk on long runs and it’s worked out really well. Good luck.
