Okay, so I know a lot of people get a taste of iron or blood when they run. I started to run 3-4 miles per day but now I wake up and still taste iron. It's been about 3 days of that taste in my mouth and I have no idea how to stop it.

    It could be benign, but it could be a symptom of other things. to be on the safe side, you should mention it to your doctor, especially since it's not limited to during exercise.

    It could be signs of dyhydration ? Do you hydrate before and after ?

    Maybe... I have cut out all other drinks and now I only drink water. I really try to drink a lot after/during workouts, but it could be.

    I've been running for 20+ yrs and and have never experienced any specific taste in my mouth related to running/cardio exercise.

    how about hydrating with a mineral balanced drink

    I use emergen-c during workouts because it's cheap and I like the taste (lemon-lime)

    Slow down. I only taste it when I'm really pushing myself.
