overtraining lungs?

dbmnk

we all know overtraining do you no good, but does that only refer to skeletal muscles?
How bout cardiac and pulmonary systems?
Can they get damaged due to overtraining?

My skeletal muscles always seem to do fine - low lactate buildup, no post training sourness, no aching or pain. But my lungs seem to be screaming, if I push it.

I think that pain in the lungs is entirely normal.

Sometimes you diaphragm muscles can get a bit sore. Well, I know mine can get a bit fatigued after alot of running. But as for your lungs that sounds abit ominous. I don't know what other answers you'll get but it can't hurt to ask your GP.

I'm the opposite; lungs never a problem, legs screaming.

I suppose I'll know I'm getting somewhere if my legs start demanding more oxygen than my lungs can supply. Or will that mean one of my lungs has collapsed?

Spin faster your lungs will run out first then?
