    When I run in the cold I cough a lot. I did ask my doctor and get checked out. No asthma, no other issues. I forget what he called it but his take was basically that my lungs are sensitive to cold... breathing deeply when the air is dry and cold irritate them.

    This winter I tried wearing a balaclava if it is cold and that completely fixed the issue. It makes my nose run more while I'm running (maybe it's just condensation?) but the coughing later in the day is gone.
