I`m generally a good distance runner, except I went to the doctor a couple of months ago & they told me I had exercise induced asthma. The doctor also said that if you get in really good shape (runng alot, etc), it`ll eventually go away. I can`t just randomly go outside & run three miles or I`ll have another asthma attack, so I need a good routine that`ll help me work up to it. I`m doing cross country starting in two months, so any tips on how to prepare/train for it?

Also remember to eat healthy foods that will keep you fit and strong! [ pup's advice column | Ask pup A Question ]
hotie91292 answered Saturday August 4 2007, 1:48 pm: if you're starting in two months, thats a really good amount of time. so, try to be up to running 4 miles the whole way when you start cross country. but do NOT push yourself past your limits, but in sure you know that. so, start off running 1 mile 5-7 days a week for two weeks, then go up to 2 miles a day for two weeks, until you are up to 4 miles a day and in great shape! dont rush it, you do need to take your time before you go up to longer running. hills are also good. try to also decrease the amount of time it takes you to run the certain length you are doing. good luck!
