I hear you. By the time I hit the second mile I am dripping. It presents some issues for instance, nipple chafing. Sweaty wet shirt + a little breeze and the high beams come on. 12 miles later OUCH! Body glide or bandaids...
What I really hate is the hat brim dripping. about 30% of those drips end up in my eye. So I have to turn the hat backwards and look like that Douche Woody Harrelson who still can't jump. I've started running without a hat and use sweat proof sunscreen on my chrome dome.
Compression shorts. If I didn't wear these I swear I'd burst into flames like a friction started tinder bundle on Dual Survival. Oh and wear Dark colored Blue or black shorts. When you sweat a lot it looks like you pissed yourself otherwise.
Don't use Fabric softener in the Technical fabrics. It screws up the wicking ability, and provides food for bacteria which really stink. Try Merino wool. Less odor for sure. .
Spare set of clothes. I always have a dry shirt to change into at the car. And a plastic grocery bag to put the sweaty clothes in . Sometimes when I know I'm going to be stop and go a lot, I will bring an extra layer in my pack.
Dude when you push yourself on a regular basis you are go ing to become a more profuse sweater.
Fitness Myth 2:
Excessive Sweating While Exercising Means You’re Not Fit
In fact, it's just the opposite. Sweating during exercise is a sign of an efficient cooler. An athlete who has adapted to keep the body core cool during exercise will shunt blood to the skin’s surface more quickly and release heat from the body. At the same time, the sweat glands increase their output and thus cool the body during sweat evaporation. While fit people produce more sweat than sedentary folks, they lose less sodium, because more of it is reabsorbed by the body. The result is a more efficient cooler.
