Hiking promotes endurance so it is not surprising that you could run 16 miles at first try since the asthma disables you lungs but not your muscles. Though we would have to define what is "running" by giving a velocity so we could be more precise.

One mile in 16 minutes, not 16 miles.

Thank you for clarifying. English is not my mother's tongue. In that case I think we have to know what "running" is so we can talk about how much that is or is not. Though I am not really interested in such details.
