A troubling workout....

[anonymous]

I have a question that I'm going to post here and see if anyone sees it/responds.... It has to do with the running topic.

Well, I'm wondering if you runners ever have "bad" days for no apparent reason? I ask cause usually I can run about 10 minutes, then walk, then run another 6-7. Well, yesterday, I was running for about 9 minutes and absolutely felt like my lungs were going to explode! So, I walked, and then was only able to put on another 2 minutes of run. I felt nauseous and short of breath and just crummy.

Does anyone else have days where, for no apparent reason, they just can't go as far, fast, long, etc. with their run/workout? What do you think this means? Should I be worried? I've had this before, but usually I just decrease my run by a couple minutes... I don't usually feel so crummy afterward and barely able to do anything.

I have this with "days" in general. lI think it is normal with CF. You just might notice more because running is more vigorous than walking or puttering around the house. I would only worry if it goes on for an extended period of time. Maybe there was something in the air triggering a problem.

hey sonia,

this was posted so long ago you may never check back here! i was going to say...i notice random days like this, but it is almost always because i am tired. it doesn't even have to be physically just mentally. i usually try to push myself anyway. but i do not run, and i know that is much more strenuous than other cardio.

Hey Sonia,

I have those days too. They really fustrate me. I'm not saying this to brag, but I've been off all oral antibiotics since April 2005. No hospitalizations for 2 years, and I STILL have those days. I just reduce the intensity of my workout and hope that tomorrow will be better. You'll be alright. Whatever you do, don't push too hard when you feel like that. You'll do more harm than good.

Laura and Jennifer,

Thanks for the posts! I'm really glad I checked back here. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">

Knowing that I'm not alone and others can have "difficult" workouts and be "normal" is a great relief. Thanks!

Sonia
