I am in highschool and smoke weed about 3 times a week. I used to smoke everday for about 2 months. I have been doing this for about a year now.
But it hasn't affected my running or breathing at all.
My pr's are 4:19 for the mile and 9:25 for the 2 mile last yr. And this year in cross country i have been placing very high in all of my meets.
I dont know if this is helping me or making me worse?.. But i have seen no downfall in training or racing from it.
What is your opinion on this matter?
It will affect your running but you'll be too stoned to realeze it
in moderation...probably doesnt matter. i wouldnt do it in season but when you arent racing go ahead and light up- your lungs repair themselves as long as you arent smoking a whole lot.
in general people worry too much about this stuff-yeah smoking weed isnt the best thing for you but its not gonna kill your running either. when i was in high school/ college i smoked in the summer and never felt like it hurt me. a little weeds good for the soul.

i bet
All good unless you get suspended or arrested, or put on a lot of poundage from the munchies.
it is obvious that smoking is not going to help your running in any way. But the better question is how much it will hurt your running. I think that the more important thing is that smoking will always be better for you than drinking. This is because
-drinking dehydrates you
-drinking is associated with partying and staying up late
-drinking can give you a hang over
the negative to smoking is
-can not be good for your lungs
-can distract one from true goals
-can get you i trouble
The benefits to smoking are
-lets you find a balance between the crazy runners who only live the life, and normal people who party often
-gives you a great! night sleep
-makes you feel good
-release from stress
I would have to say that the pros to smoking do not outweigh some of the cons, but lots of he cons do not outweigh the pros. That is why i think that finding a balance of doing it in the off season, and doing it several times instead of drinking during the season it justifiable.
Have fun being high!!! i wish i was.

Get a Vape man, my wife and I vape all the time.
3 times a week seems a little risky. It depends on your method of consumption, how much you smoke at a time, etc. If you said you smoke once every week or two, I would say that this probably has no noticeable effect on your lungs, especially if you take care not to take huge hits. If you are worried about it, why not get a vaporizer or do some baking?
Well I heard that when you smoke weed it is mostly carbon dioxide and you breath that in every day, so i dont get how that would affect your lungs.
My fastest 2 mi. race ever was actually when i was high so I definitely dont think its making me worse.
You actually exhale CO2.
what are you smoking out of? i personally dont feel like its ever affected my running, but to be on the safe side i vape it out of a lightbulb.
If you're serious about being high when you PR'd then I'd suggest you might already have an issue. Getting high (or drunk, for that matter) so you can face pressure-filled events is not a good sign. You risk fooling yourself into thinking that's how you should approach high pressure things throughout life. Celebrate facing those moments with a little single hit after you've done them clean and sober.
LMAO to the post above.
I have no problem with pressure at all, I just happened to be high before that race.
Oh and i smoke out of pretty much anything. Nothing in particalur. Usually a pipe though.
I PR'd huge taking a B-load once or twice a week. Doesn't hurt that much.
alot...it has many x more tars than regular cigarettes

No one believes you, except the burnouts who are too vacant to tell the difference.

Use a vaporizer and it will not do any harm.
