I just started running this year and I have to blow my nose every 2-3 miles when I run. Does everyone do this? Will it ever end?

    Yup, exercise-induced rhinitis. It happens every time I do cardio. Half the time I end up using my sleeve because I can’t seem to remember tissues.

    When it’s bad enough I learned to do a “farmers blow”, which is admittedly super gross - but it’s effective at clearing my nose and doesn’t require bringing tissues (esp. useful when I am cycling or running in bad weather).

        Cover one nostril with finger, then blow very hard (try to aim for the ground and not on your clothes), then reverse which nostril you cover and do the same.

        It’s really gross, I try to only do it when no one is around, but it is useful.
