Does everyone have to bring tissues on runs?
Does everyone have to bring tissues on runs?
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?

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).

This is what I do if it's really bad when I'm running. It's rare to get that bad, but I have shot snot on the ground while tilting my head away from my body.
If it's a small amount of snot, I can just wipe it with my shirt.
What can I say? I'm nasty, but I'm already being nasty by running, so I don't mind.

yes, you get it!
And completely agree that you're already gross from running, it's just socially faux pas so I prefer to wait until I'm not around others to do it (if possible, if I'm really suffering I'll just do it anyway 🫠).

What’s that like a double snot rocket?
-
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.
