I am 16 years old now and I need help.I can't run long distances or even a lot of spirnts.I am very athletic and look like it to but its like a 300 pounder stuck inside of my athletic body.I need help, I have been to the docter about asthma but he can't find anything there and my parents say mabye im just not built to run.I don't know if it's just a mind thing but I can't get in shape either. It just feels so uncompfortable and I start to breath harder and hurt until I just stop.When I was little I could run with the best of them but ever since i was 11 i just hate running and stopped being able to keep up with the rest of the group It is sooo frusturating, does anyone know why I can't get in shape and feel good when I run.I get soo scared when it comes time to run at practice because I need another excuse to get out of the run or just stop in the middle of it and look embarased. I have faked injury's for running and i want to stop and just be able to run with the rest of my teamates. i play lacrosse and soccer and i need help fast, lacrosse is right around the corner and im still the slow poke.

I assume you are lifting weights from what you posted? I think the problem is that if you did not have any cardio training mixed in with your lifting routine you did not develop any cardiovascular strength - you do not have endurance. One way to help you is to either circtuit train at a fast pace to simulate an anaerobic workout while lifting the weights, or add in some form of cardio 3 three times a week and do it at your own pace away from everyone else.
Do you get as tired when you play soccer? As a former player, and trainer for a few teams I know that in an average soccer game, at a high skill level, you run an average of 6 miles. Alot of guys used to complain about getting tired when running was required for training, but had no problems in games.
The answer to their problems was completely mental. Some people just dont enjoy running, its that simple. Your attitude changes a bit when your enjoying yourself.
Maybe try listening to good music and not treating it as a chore. This may not pertain to you, just adding my 2 cents. Hope it helps.
