Can you really run 26.2 miles with asthma… without relying on your inhaler? The answer is YES—and in this video, I’ll show you exactly how I did it. I'm Jonny Havey, the Athlete with Asthma. I was told as a kid that I’d never be able to run—or play soccer—because of my asthma. But this year, I ran two marathons in three days and nearly 70 miles… without using my inhaler once. This video breaks down the 4-step asthma-friendly marathon training method that got me there, so you can do it too. Whether you're just starting out, training for your first marathon, or managing asthma like I have my whole life—this is your roadmap. You don’t have to let asthma hold you back. You just need a smarter approach.
