I am 47 and was told a year ago I have copd. I have always been pretty athletic so I began running. At first my chest was pretty tight and breathing at times difficult. Now I am up to two miles. I push pretty hard and am wondering is there any downside to this kind of forceful approach to keeping my lungs active.
