I'd suggest starting a progressive running program. Start out with walking 1/2 mile three times per week. After a couple weeks, bump it up to 1 mile. Couple weeks later, jog 1 mile, jogging for 2 min, walking for 5 min, jogging 2, walking 5 etc . . .then increase your jogging time by 1 min each week until you can run 2 or 3 miles with no problems. Do this at least two or three times per week.

i controled my asthma by doing regular exercise and gradually useing less and less of the pump unless if got really bad, then i wud use it again.However, it depends how bad ur asthma is. If u get attacks every time u play sport u shudnt push urself so hard. I no it might sound stupid now, but ur health is more important.
