Hi Ivory!

I agree with everyone who has said take care of your asthma. I have the same condition, although I can 'train myself up' to a level before the mucous really sets in. If my aerobic abilities are poor, it sets in very early and I need my inhaler before all sorts of exercise. Even now, I've been doing tons of low intensity training, but a group ride would have me wheezing the rest of the day.

I would see a doctor and see what they recommend. They may make you go through allergy testing too (I did-- though I don't find there's much connection) and a methacholine challenge (inducing asthma attacks basically to figure stuff out). I was on advair, a daily asthma manager, but I am not anymore. The corticosteroids do the trick for me. Later this season when I've done more high intensity stuff, I will need the inhaler less and less, but when I'm just getting into shape, it really helps control the mucous and wheezing.

Best of luck to you and I hope you find a solution!
