The Smell of Running

As the weather has heated up, the smell of other runners has not really changed. When you pass someone on the trail you don’t smell their exertion. You are more likely to smell their laundry detergent. As runners heat up and sweat, the temperature and the evaporation help carry the scent into the air. Only the people walking smell of cologne or perfume. Runners are less concerned with such things.
