This summer I have noticed that if I don't shower immediately after a run I start to smell like buttermilk. Very sour. Even if I shower then my sweaty running clothes sitting in the hamper smell like buttermilk.
I used to smell like ammonia after a run, which was a little more bearable.
What happened to me? By the way, I never drink buttermilk. I can't stand the taste.

It may go good in some pancakes... you could ring your shirt out in some mix and make some buttermilk pancakes.
10/10 (You're on a good start. Quit your job, post on LRC.)
I think the buttermilk aroma is a direct result of the fact that you are soaking in a tub of buttermild before your run. I understand that the advertisement recommending this approach stated that '...the pungent aroma associated with the muscle enhancing buttermilk soak will gradually dissipate during the following workout..', but, unforuntately, this is just a case of mis-advertising. Don't worry, you are not the only one to be sucked into this clever little buttermilk sales promotion.
The ammonia smell is a result of protein metabolism. The sweeter buttermilk smell is from fat metabolism. Whatever you're doing, it's working.

Could it really be fat metabolism?? I have in fact lost about 5 pounds in July and August. I have noticed I look more muscular but I haven't been lifting.
What does carbohydrate metabolism smell like, pretzels?

Found a similar thread in another forum via GoogleSearch. It might help since it sites some scientific papers in it.

Thanks for the link. I have been building mileage to unprecedented levels, just like the guy in this thread. Apparently it is fat metabolism.
It's lactic acid causing the smell.
This thread is udderly stupid.
