How come running hard (especially when out of shape) makes your lungs feel like they are on fire? - eviltoast

Just had this thought while running with my dog and getting fatigued. Why does it feel like that? What is going on in the tissue to make it “burn?”

    Could be exercise-induced asthma? I get this as well and only found out it wasn’t a common affliction a few weeks ago, when it was pointed out that this might be a cause. For me at least, after a while the pain gets so bad that every time I swallow it feels like my throat doesn’t want to reopen.
