In this episode, I share my top five tips for running without getting tired, despite living with asthma. Best running practices include the importance of progressive overload in training, proper fueling with energy and calories, hydration with adequate electrolytes and salt, powerful breathing techniques, and strategic use of music, podcasts, and audiobooks during runs. In addition, I share my personal journey, from childhood asthma diagnosis to conquering ultra marathons, and offer practical advice for runners at all levels.
