<human>: Give me a shortened version of the text

Bear with me if this is something that happens a lot.
After completing the C25K program (which is great by the way) I started venturing outside in the afternoons and at night for some jogging, nothing extreme mind you, I'm still just a beginner, generally anywhere between 1-4kms at a time.
After doing these outside runs for a few weeks I started getting a cough, a cough so bad actually that for a few weeks whenever I coughed or something set me off like spicy food I coughed involuntarily so hard that I would not be able to breathe and I'd have trouble breathing all the way back in to the point where we almost called an ambulance a few times.
The cough it felt like was caused when I would be running outside and I was breathing in cold air (I typically do three breaths in and three breaths out) it kind of made the back of my throat cold and it seemed to make it worse each time I ran.
As a result I stopped running for a few months and the cough completely disappeared. I've now started running again and I'd like to get some advice on how it can be prevented this time around so I can keep running and not have to stop again.
Has anyone had this kind of issue before?
