I have been doing 3 or 4 three mile runs, per week, for 20 yrs.
I went from a 10 minute mile, to 3 miles in 43 mins.
I put it down to age and avoided runs if it was less than 0oC
and avoided runs if it was more than 18oC.
This meant some very early morning runs in the summers, to avoid the excessive heat.
However, last September (2019) I experienced lung probs re. running: a boiling/burning sensation while running, followed by stabbing chest pains, after running.
Blood tests suggest it was due to high creatinine levels.
I was 157. Healthy levels are 90 max.
I changed my diet and took 9 months off from runs.
On Friday 26th June 2020, I returned to 3x 3mile runs pwk.
All is now fine.
No burning sensation, while running.
No post-run stabbing pains in the chest.
If you, or anyone you know, experiences such pains,
get a blood test to check out your creatinine levels.
Early intervention could make all the difference.
