Runnin for 1km and felt like throwing up when i stopped, am i unfit or is it from smoking??

Question

Hi i am trying to get fit for the army and i have recently quit smoking but i had alot of smokes on the weekend while i was drinking but none since, and i went for a run today and i only made it about 1km

and it felt like my throat was caving in and i felt like throwing up for bout 5 minutes, would this mean that i am unfit or because of my smoking on the weekend?

if I'm unfit are there any suggestions how i am going to be able to last a 2.4km run if i ge to basic training?

or am i just not concentrating on my breathing enough?

because the air was quite cold

Answer 1

Don't worry when U get to basic they will teach u how not to thro-up..so enjoy yourself while U can..good luck.

Answer 2

i think you are unfit because of the smoking. try doing yoga, it really helps you understand your breathing better.
