livI started out fast, possibly a bit too fast. Did 1 km in under 8 minutes, then I had to stop (I was supposed to be doing a 10-minute running interval). Then I had a really horrible coughing fit; it didn't feel like I'd triggered an asthma attack, I wasn't even more than usually out of breath, I just couldn't stop coughing, almost choking and retching, it was nasty. So obviously I stopped trying to run and rested until that passed. My best guess is that I inhaled something large-ish, an insect or something.
I don't want to do anything actually dangerous, but I also don't want to give myself permission to use feeling funny as an excuse not to run. So I did the remaining 3 km slowly, alternating 10 minute intervals of fairly gentle running with 5 minutes of walking. The total time for 2 km + 3 km was 46 minutes, but I wasn't pushing myself at all after the coughing fit, I just wanted to complete the workout. I'll try this one again on Friday, I think.
