Why does my throat hurt when I run?!
Question:
Why does my throat hurt when I run?
I don't have asthma, first off. When I walk on the treadmill - no problem. I want to start running though so I can burn more calories. The problem is, when I jog or run, my throat starts hurting, almost like it's bleeding. I think it has to do with how I breathe or something. I have always had this problem and I don't know why. This only happens when I run. I am an otherwise healthy, but out-of-shape person. My heart is fine.

You might be breathing in through your mouth. You should be breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth.
