Hi all, I am a new runner, I have ran about a 100 KM last 6 weeks but I have faced a problem. whenever I run no matter the time of day I run in there is always a strong smell of old car exhaust fumes. It's so bad that whenever I finish a run no matter how short (15 minutes) I always get a strong car exhaust taste in my mouth. And that can't be good for my lungs, right? So I wonder if any of you guys have faced the same problem and what was your solution for it. Would a mask work? is it even a problem or should I just ignore it? thanks in advance

I have faced this in the past and obviously the best thing to do would be to find a new place to run. If that is not possible there are a range of masks out there that you can buy that are designed for fitness. I have tried one in the past but the airflow just wasn't good enough for me and I quickly abandoned it. Everyone is different in this regard though.
One thing I would be certain of if you do go this route is to make sure that you find a type of mask that elevates off of your mouth, IE not just one of those cheap drug store surgical masks because if you are like me, this will get clogged up with sweat and will actually make it difficult to breathe.
Running for 15 minutes when just started is pretty impressive. I wouldn't call that short at all!
Good luck!
If there is anything you can do to get away from the traffic that is going to be the best option. I have never run in a mask, so cannot comment on those.
