Solution for dry air?

[snoozle]

Hi everyone,

I'm doing C25K on my treadmill as the weather outside is frightful where I live. However, the air in my house is quite dry, which leads to nose pain/bleeds when I run. It's really strange, and I'm not sure why it's happening only when I run, but there you have it. I tried running a humidifier today and it helped some, but not a lot.

Has anyone else experienced this? Any tips?

When I was a kid we used to have little water reservoirs hooked on each radiator for this very issue... not seen them in any shops since though!

I have those! Got them very cheaply from eBay last year. I always keep the water topped up in them to try & offset the dry conditions caused by the central heating ...

Interesting! Thanks for the tip!

Breathe through your mouth? Little bit of vaseline up your nose?

I tried breathing through my mouth but it's very uncomfortable! I'll try the Vaseline trick, though, sounds intriguing.
