A member asked:

Ran longer than usual, heart pounding, short of breath when i was resting. do i do more or less next time?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Exhaustion: If you were uncomfortable and felt unwell after running, then clearly you should run less next time. It is normal to have fatigue and heavy panting after a hard run, but it should not make you actually feel sick. If you're feeling sick, something is wrong, and you should change your work-out routine.
