Cold Lungs

Posted by Active_Jess on Feb 2, 2009 3:10:58 PM

 

It is pretty cold here when I go for my runs in the morning.  Now, I know the difference between sore "cold lungs" and actually having sore lungs from breathing (or dare I say panting) continuous cold breaths of air.  Is there anything that anyone is doing to combat this?  My run yesterday left my lungs not only cold, but very sore- all day!  In fact, I can still feel them and I haven't gone for a run yet?  Any ideas?

 

 

I've tried gum to help steady my breath and I love it - that seems to really work, but I have never experienced anything like what I felt with the cold air yesterday.

sometimes drinking hot tea after a run works for me. I also try to run slower if it is a really cold day, then my lungs don't burn as bad.
