I have a super snotty nose and live in a cold place so I don’t wear it outside. I walk away or cover mouth when someone gets close. But I’ve read articles that give numbers ie. x% chance of getting it if you are within y feet for z minutes in an enclosed room, so I think me walking outside without a mask is not an issue, despite the dirty looks from lots of people.

My opinion - you should consider wearing a light weight cloth mask outside to keep your plume of potentially infectious air closer to you.

Strong breath during exercise can travel quite a distance.
