After I get done with a hard run, I get this dry sensation in my nose and I'm overwhelmed by a bleach like smell.
I don't think it's an actual smell, but just that sensation you get in your nose after taking a big whiff of bleach and it kind of burns the nostrils.
It's hard to describe. Same reaction I'd have if you put a thing of bleach under my nose, but the smell isn't real.
ANYONE else have this happen?
it's sort of freaking me out...
it's from your sweat. i forget what chemical is in it, but sometimes if you sweat enough it smells like bleach. i never had that sensation in my nose, but often smelled it after a run, particularly if i had sweat a lot.
Too much protien not enough carbs in your diet
All it means is that you are dehydrated and are starting to sweat enough ammonia to smell. Basically you are starting to overwhelm your kidney's ability to excrete it.
Being hot may increase your protein breakdown but it does not mean you are eating too much protein. Just hydrate better and try to stay cool and the smell will go away.
Lots of info on this if you google it.

I think that gives you an ammonia smell, not bleach.
Doesnt bleahc contain ammonia. I concur, either too much protein in the diet- or your burning protein as fuel for another reason.
I was told I smell like a penny after I run. what does that mean? Does it mean I'm money?
Do a search, there have been many, many threads about this topic both bleach and ammonia smell.

Are you serious?
ah...no bleach does not contain ammonia, it's chlorine. And don't ever mix bleach and ammonia. You'll end of dead because HCl gas(aka strong acid) is produced. Just felt that I should mention that for public safety.
HCl is not produced... Bleach is Sodium Hypochlorite, NaOCl. Mixing bleach and ammonia gives:
2 NaOCl + 2NH3 --> 2NaONH3 + Cl2
The chlorine gas is what is toxic. You can also get Nitrogen Trichloride (similar to tri-iodide touch explosive) which is also very toxic:
3NaOCl + NH3 --> 3NaOH + NCl3
or evevn hydrazine, a key component of rocket fuel and highly explosive:
NH3 + NaOCl --> NaOH + NH2Cl.
NH3 + NH2Cl + NaOH -->N2H4 + NaCl + H2O.
2NH2Cl + N2H4 --> 2 NH4Cl + N2
