Bad to run until my heart hurts?

Posted at: 2014-06-09 
When I run on the treadmill, I run for about 8 songs that are about 3-4 minutes. By 7th song, I'm pretty much sprinting and by the 8th I sprint as fast as I can. When I'm in the middle of the 7th, it feels like my throat starts to close, to the point where it literally sounds like I'm wheezing. And by the 8th when I'm sprinting, my heart starts to hurt and by then, I am wheezing. I know that sounds bad, but after I slow down I'm fine. My heart doesn't hurt anymore and I don't wheeze. The only thing that concerns me is that even when my heart hurts, I can't stop running until it hurts too much. It's like my legs can't stop because I really wanna reach my 8 song length. It's like a weird mind set I have. I mean, I'm not too too concerned, but I just wanna make sure.. I'm 16 btw.. And it's not like I'm starting a new routine. I've been exercising for years, being in cross country and also running on the treadmill. But lately, my heart and lungs seem like they're having a harder time. Advice ? Please and thank you x
I'd suggest speaking with a doctor, and stopping smoking if you do. That could be serious
It could be exercised induced asthma or a bronchial spasm. If it were a problem with your heart you wouldn't be able to run like that. You could always go to a doctor and have a stress test to be sure.
