120/80 is an at rest pressure. Running will increase the pressure.

120/80 is classified as prehypertension, 130/90 is hypertension....the norm is now 115/75. If the man in question runs regularly, then the activity will increase his heart rate, but not his blood pressure, two minutes after he has stopped running his pressure is normal, as is his heart rate.
A great many factors impact what a blood pressure will be through out the day, so the best time of day to check a blood pressure is when you first get up in the morning.

3 years ago, I was diagnosed - hypertension with a reading of 160/100. I used to feel dizzy a lot, my legs had awful cramps, and levels were very low in my potassium, causing my fingers and toes to always cramp together. One day I started to feel really faint while I was driving with my daughter in the back seat and I passed out, hitting 3 cars and ending up in a ditch. That moment,I knew I had to do something because my meds weren't working. I heard about this diet from a friend and thought I'd give it a shot. The results have been remarkable. In just 21 days, I honestly can't remember feeling this good, my blood pressure went from 175/110 to 125/70.

120/80 is not high. This is a great blood pressure.

No, that is very good if you took it after you ran.
To get an accurate reading you should take your blood pressure after you have sat quietly for a while.
Checking your heart rate is a better way to assess your cardio at the peak of your workout.

if you run and then take your blood pressure, that's not a good indication of high blood pressure. you need to take it resting, just sitting still. if you run, of course your blood pressure will get higher.

To get accurate readings, you need to take it several times, while resting, after exercising, before meals, after meals, etc. Keep a journal of when you took it and what you were doing at the time. I did that, took it to my dr. He can best determine what you need from the journal.(I took notes for 3 days)

Not always. Let the doctor decide not you and me.
