Hit the look out point at the top and promply had a massive coughing fit. Seemingly brought on from sucking in the freezing air so deeply.
Coughing up what looked like rice grains? Someone (was climbing steep hills on fixed rather than running in his case) elsewhere posited that this could be due to a histamine reaction related to taking in huge gulps of air over and over again.
Either way, it's nothing to worry about.
Been a good running start to the New year.
Friday night headed into the wodds on the top of the mountain behind my house. Pitch black, full of melting snow; frozen roots; rocks etc. Plus my headlight was playing up. Things became more fun when the hail/ lightening storm hit. Couldnt really move very fast. But the knowledge that I would be stuck up there if my headlight packed in kept the HR up.
Did a Nice longish run yesterday. Mostly through a few inches of snow. Tried to hold a supra threshold of 170+ for the last 15min Climb. Which I very nearly managed. Hit the look out point at the top and promply had a massive coughing fit. Seemingly brought on from sucking in the freezing air so deeply. Still. Felt pretty strong.
