A new study has found that 1/3 of all marathon runners will suffer from allergies post 26.2. Why? A lot of marathons are run in the spring or fall, which is prime time for allergies to hit. Also, many runners travel outside of their hometown for marathons, and may not be used to the plants in the new local. In order to combat this, the article suggests taking a corticosteroid nasal spray or a non-sedating antihistamine as a preventative measure and rinsing your nose with salt-water. It's also important for those suffering from asthma to carry medication with them, as allergies can often trigger attacks.
