I graduated from C25K in July and have been enjoying (!?!) the delights of our local parkrun. Strange question, but does any one else suffer from a runny nose when running (well, jogging) ? My nose runs like a tap and I am constantly sniffing! I know it's not hayfever, perhaps I am allergic to running haha!
First post, not to be sniffed at!: I graduated... - Bridge to 10K

I guess there are all sorts of allergens in the air that might be affecting you halfpintgill . I spent a weekend in London in June and my nose was running constantly.
It’s the opposite for me when running. My nose is often really dry and I end up breathing in and out through my mouth. I probably need to drink more water!
🤧🏃♀️

I think Dexy's right, it will be allergens, coupled with the fact that you're shifting an awful lot of air during your run.
Fortunately I don’t suffer with the sniffles, I just want to pee all the time 😂

Maybe try taking an antihistamine an hour or so before running and see if that helps?

I get this and I'm miserable if I don't have a tissue stuffed in my waistband when I set out.I don't think it's an allergic reaction though, just natural clearing the system!

I take a big hankie and have a good blow as required I also wear a towelling wristband for nose wiping😃
There's an idea, can't imagine where I would put a hankie! May get some curious looks though haha!
Yes and sometimes I blow my nose on my shirt! (Vile I give
you!)

I’m allergic to the pollution. I even get sinusitis if I don’t use an antihistamine spray/tablet. I’m in London though.

The perils of the 'Big Smoke' literally!! I live in the North West, relatively 'clean' compared to London, I think!

Sounds like exercise induced rhinitis.
Yep, especially later on in a longer run! Sniff sniff *surreptitious wipe* sniff...

Haha, that sounds so much like me 😅

Hi. I've just searched 'runny 👃' and lots of posts appeared. Yes, I have this problem too. Have a sweat wristband with a tissue tucked inside to save hunting around for one. It's the same when I cycle too. Maybe we are allergic to exercise!
