Does everyone have to bring tissues on runs? (lemmy.world)

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 🫠).
