I find that it is harder to breath when it is hot out. It may be the ozone,
allergies or pollution... or all 3.

It is not necessarily the ozone, allergies, or pollution...
Your body's first defense against overheating is perspiration for cooling
the body. At some point, if you go past the ability of the body to
naturally cool itself with perspiration, the first reaction of your body is
fatigue. It's telling you "slow down, I can't keep up!"
While exercising in the sun, the best defenses against overheating are (1)
plenty of water (got to keep your cooling system tanks full), (2) light,
loose fitting clothing and head covering to protect as much of your skin
from sunlight as possible (sunlight will evaporate the sweat before it can
adequately do its job), and (3) don't push yourself beyond your limits.
Take a break, if possible in a shady area low in humidity. Or hose yourself
down.
