Really dry mouth painful chest after running?

February 17, 2010 - 6:22 am 2 Comments

I have my track meets indoors in the winter and the air is so dry there that my chest, throat, and mouth are exploding with pain. Is the anything I can do before or during the race so this wont happen?

You may be dehydrated; more specifically, your lungs might be dehydrated. People tend to hydrate less in the cold winter but their physical exertion amount is the same as in winter. Increase your fluid intake and cover your nose and mouth when running outdoors. The fabric will warm the air before it enters your lungs.
