why do I get a very dry throat whilst running? Does everybody get this?

That could be from the air drying out your airway while you are breathing. Try taking water with you and stop to take a drink when it feels dry.

That is because when you run you need more oxygen and you tend to breathe with your mouth as well as your nose to take in more oxygen. To help soothe your throat gargle with warm salty water or mouthwash. This can reduce the pain and inconvenience. You can find some good home remedies at http://ailments.in/sorethroat.html

yes, I get this. It's because we're breathing through our mouths instead of our noses.
You can carry water with you, or chew gum while you're running...

In the winter especially, keep your mouth shut or wear a mask.
