Le professeur de trail
I know that cold weather usually is dryer which makes the snot flow more. Wondering if anyone has any tricks that work to slow this down?
I probably have more snot flow than the average runner so it's super annoying. I snot rocket plenty but it keeps flowing. In longer runs and races, it gets incredibly annoying, nose gets chapped, etc.
My favorite day of the week is RUNday
I don't know how to make it stop flowing. I use a small dab of aquaphor around the base of my nose to keep it from getting chapped, and I also put a little around the inside edges as well so I'm breathing in moister air to help prevent a bloody nose from the dry cold air.
not bad for mile 25
Let it flow, but carry a rag.

It snot a problem! Just let it flow! Ha, ha, ha. Couldn't help myself.
I'm pretty much the same. Nose runs and runs no matter what I do. It a genetic thing I think.
Not a huge deal for a few miles...but over the course of a 50k, 50miler, etc. very annoying. I was hoping someone had some creative way to help.

I have that same problem...doesn't matter if it's cold or hot but the cold is worse cause of the nose chapping.
