So I have my first marathon coming up in three weeks. I feel ready and have done two 16-20 mile runs, with my last long run scheduled for this weekend. I have always had seasonal allergies, but I recently relocated to another part of the country (Oklahoma) and this is my first Spring season here.
In the past week I have been slammed with seasonal allergies like never before. My usual Zyrtec was not making a dent. The doctor prescribed Allegra and Nasanex. They haven't helped much yet but I am told they take a few dosages before I will feel it. Anyone have any experience with seasonal allergies on a run, or taking either/both of these medications? Any tips on natural remedies/good preparations would be appreciated.
