Tired and short of breath during physical activity

[hydrocodonePKC]

I notice that ever since about a year ago every time i do hard physical activity such as sprinting or running for long periods of time, I become so out of breath that i can no longer continue running at all. Then, i keep breathing hard for a really really long time after i am done running, and i get sore very very easily and stay sore for a really long time. What can cause this?

It would be wise to work your way up from an acceptable level. Over-exerting yourself without a proper diet and program can lead to (aside from physical strain) free radical production and lowered metabolism.

Instead of exerting yourself much irregularly, try to do less strenuous exercise on a daily basis and increase at a level you are comfortable with. This may mean going from walking to brisk walking to light jog to running, gradually. Or it may mean doing what is a fraction of your capacity in terms of time, then working your way up.

My own experiences in overexertion usually come from guilt about not exercising, and over-estimating my capacity to levels of when I am less sedentary. Take it easy, and be happy doing something-- try to use your breathing as an indication-- if you can still breathe through your nose, you are fine.

i have about 2 weeks to try and get back up to where i used to be in terms of being able to excercise alot because i am going to try to wrestle again. The conditioning is very very hard and i just need to be able to get through that.

If you smoke, stop smoking. Also you probably have to recondition your cardiovascular system, this will take time.
