running
First off, Im 13 years old girl and I play lacrosse. It requires alot of running and I have asthma. I dont have it very bad, but the inhaler seems to help. Anyways, im not very good at running. Its very annoying, because in this sport you must run long distances, and you have to run fast. Im not sure if its asthma or if its because im out of shape. Im not fat or anything, normal size, but im not very flexible and my personal fitness teacher said that if your not very flexible and you cant run a mile in under 11 min. that your out of shape. I took 15:30 on my mile and a BOYS average on flexibility. I am pretty good at sports though and I dont feel out of shape at all.

wwe have a kid on our guys team who is unbelievably faast, but avg i would say on long distance. A lot of short distance fast runners are not good at all in long distance and i have a couple friends like that. I would jus practice on the mile trying to get ATLEASt and 8 minute mile and who cares about flexibility LOL , Its all about proving ppl wrong and making them look dumb. Also if you are good at short distance fast . Try playing Attack or D or do face offs on mid than come off.

I'm asthmatic and can run that great either. No offence to your personal fitness teacher but she/he sounds like she doesn't know anything about anything. hehe. It doesn't really matter how good you are at running because once you get out of school you'll only be doing the sports you want to. If are slow at running then who cares. I'm faster at speed walking the runing (a little embarassing isn't it) but love youself anyway. And if you can play lacrosse because you can't run very fastthen just quit and try something else.

I'm moderate-severe asthmatic, and trust me, I know your pain! I've never been able to run well, but I have my black belt in karate! It doesn't mean you're out of shape if you can't run, and that's something that non-asthmatics don't understand :)

You probably are out of shape and just don't push yourself enough to see that. If I were you I'd just start running every day. Run like you normally would at first, and then every week try to get your time a little shorter. If you warm up and cool down before and after with stretching, it will probably not only help you be less sore after you run but also help flexibility.
