caffeine via coffee is always part of my routine, but thats because i drink the stuff all day regardless of whether im riding or not. im not sure if it makes any difference seeing as i still suffer quite badly.
my doctor recommended giving up dairy, but i don't really eat anything dairy anyway, apart from cheese on a pizza, because i find the idea of consuming something that came a from an animals nipple a bit weird and gross.
im not normally asthmatic its only the heavy breathing in the cold that effects me.
ive tried inhalers but with limited success, it doesn't really make it any better, but it helps soothe the recovery a bit after the ride.
this year ive just been riding much more gently and making a big effort to not let my breathing get too crazy. it difficult to do though, especially when riding the fixed gear after the road bike.
