Since I don't have access to a gym, the last few days I've started running once every day or two. My cardio-vascular system is out of shape so I can't go for more than about 30 minutes with breaks walking in between, but I've found that what's stopping me from going for longer is that when I start breathing in more deeply, my chest hurts. It feels like it's on my ribs, and its a dull pain that becomes sharper as I breath harder and go for longer. Does anyone know what I'm talking about, what causes it, how to fix it, etc?
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

You're out of shape. Simple as that. Not sure of the science of all of that, but it will fade the more running you do over time.
yeah when I was fat that happened. It also happens if I start off too fast. Start off with a 5-10 minute warm-up then increase your speed. gradually improve your start time, but the keyt is to start off slow.

If you tell me HOW you run, I can give you a few pointers.
Chest pains, stitches, growing pains, and of course endurance, can be tied to your breathing.
The most common running mistake is breathing on the wrong step. Your body has been trained, breathing on your current step is an evolutionary human tactic. Correlating your repititions with your step allows the process to become a reflex.
Next time you run try to breath in when you land on your left foot, instead of your right.

When I do long runs, I generally tried to keep my breathing as so.
Inhale for 4 steps. Exhale for 4 steps.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

These guys are probably right
Not to scare you, but it could be exercise induced azthma too.
The other posters are probably more educated than I am in this, but I read some articles a few weeks ago about it. It happens to me too, but I'm relatively certain my cardio system isn't as clean as it should be,..........lol
If it really worries you, see your doctor and ask him about it.....

That's the hypochondriac in you talkingwunnaBsmooth said:
We all do it though, no worries.Been running for years, switching it up between long distance, and all out sprinting endurance.
I've gotten pains from my neck all the way down to the tips of my toes. THe problems range from shoes, to tensing your jaw when you run.
I'd say, if ANYTHING, a new runner is feeling pains in his chest when he begins to run again due to lung/diaphragm expansion...
To alleviate most chest pains due to exapansion you only need to switch your feet. Your internal organs aren't symmetrically aligned inside of your body. Your liver, esophogus/stomach, and you heart all rest on the same side of your body. For the same reason you should sleep on the left side of your body, so should you breath on it...

Bro, I had the exact same problem a while ago, but it's solved now. Whenever I run, I run on an empty stomach and I don't drink a lot of water.. Just a little sip to keep my mouth a little moist.. If I run with any food in my stomach, I will almost surely get aches when jogging and I will need to walk it off and the pain will just come back when I start running again.
Now I can run like hell for a full 45 mins in a basketball game without ever having any pain in the rib area. So don't eat or drink before running.. Run on an empty stomach and just sip some water.. don't really drink a lot! It'll slow you down and it'll lead to pain.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
