Answers:
Does anybody know where I can find a training schedule for running a half marathon?
Being able to breath efficiently is one of the many important components of running. However, a nasal allergy is typically not a barrier that cannot be overcome. Sometimes an over the counter antihistamine or decongestant like Claritin is sufficient. If not, you may wish to contact a physician about anti-inflammatory nasal sprays (e.g., Nasonex) or allergy shots.Most of my running buddies (training for marathons) go the Claritin approach, and a few go the Nasonex approach.
Jump-roping? how much will it help?
My daughter has nasal allergies and she was the captain of her cross country all four years in high school. She would use a spray called Nasanex that worked. The pills that contained diphenhydramine would cause her to become dizzy.Some days were tough in the spring time and during rag weed season.
But she would just run easier on some of those bad days.
Don't let obstacles in your life keep you from your dreams...
Good Luck!
I just breath through my mouth and spit and blow snot rockets, but I do not think it affects my running, other than grossing out some of the people, which is why I usually run with guys.
How do you train to increase your running speed?
I've got the same problem, and I've been running for 3 years. Usually, I go to my doctor, who gives me something for my allergies; other people I know use Claritin or Nasonex. I'm going to be honest with you though: they don't always help all that much, especially if you've been taking the same one for a few years, since your body builds up a resistance to it for some reason. My point? Right now I'm running track without my allergy meds; it's pretty bad, but it's doable. Talk to a doctor, see if he'll prescribe something, then go join the team! Good luck!of course you should join the team, if you want to! nasal allergies will probably make it hard for you to breath through your nose but i breathe through my mouth, and it doesnt slow me down any
but if your running long distances/ cross country, try to keep your mouth as closed as you can (breathe through your teeth) because your throat will get very dry fast and you'll lose water much faster.
if you are susceptible to nature's allergens, be sure to spit lugies alot =P they sound gross but they help because you're getting all the allergens and bacteria out of the back of your throat that you accumulate while breathing during a run
good luck!
