There are many studies completed indicating using the type of respiratory muscle training offered by PowerLung can reduce the number and severity of asthma attacks, reduce reliance on steroids and inhalers, and help you better manage an attack when you have one.
Typically an individual does not "outgrow" a PowerLung model because it is adjustable for training your muscles for strength, power and endurance.
Since you have just started running, what will make a difference in the model you choose is the level of fitness you already have in your breathing muscles. This is determined by the amount and type of exercise you are already doing.
