I use albuteral and I take 2 puffs 30min's before running or jogging. I also use it as a rescue when I absolutely have to.

i take xolair, (i technically got it for my chronic idiopathic urticaria, but it’s also for sever asthma) (and you have to jump through a bunch of hoops to get it) but it really helped my asthma if you’re interested in bringing it up to your doctor (i also take a steroid inhaler everyday along with a medication, but xolair helped the best!)
