My Story…
Having suffered from severe asthma my entire life, It was drilled in my head at a young age that I would need to abstain from any sort of cardiovascular exercise, as it would only worsen my symptoms. As I got older and bolder, I ventured off into the realm of running, and though things were challenging to start, I quickly realized my lungs were being conditioned and adapting for the better to my new “forbidden” activity. As I racked in the kilometres, my need to take my inhaler - and corticosteroids - severely lessened, all around the board. Today, I continue running as a form of physio for my lungs, mental health, and overall physical well-being, as I document my journey on instagram (@The.Asthma.Runner) for others to follow and be inspired by. My ultimate goal? To show other asthma sufferers that ANYTHING is possible, and limitations set on you should only be your own.
