Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I'm not normalyl troubled with breathing problems.

But I'm struggling a bit just now.

Could it just be the heat? Affects me most outdoors snd in our warm house. Not in my cool office.

Well … it could be, but for me it has to get a bit hotter than this for it, Southern European hot (the place I most noticed it was Rome - in August!) I think it is more likely to be pollen or other allergen related. I and a few others were struggling with that last week up here, but by the end of the week, though even hotter, there weren't the same problems.

Air pollution is often worse in hot weather and there's often more ozone too. I'm struggling too at the moment

Just have a look at all the cars at the moment, that's all floating around in the air so could well be affecting you.
I seem to be running out of puff at the moment, but I put that down to lack of training and old age. ;-)

Probably just a combination of pollen, accumulation of pollutants in the air and the effect that heat has on your O2 carrying capacity.
I was out in it today and I was breathing hard and my HR was much higher than normal for such a slow pace.
The good news is that you can acclimatise to it over successive runs but it is bloody hard going!

Got something to say?
