Hm, I thought people get it mostly from the air, via other people sneezing? I must admit I am guilty of picking my nose as I hate it when it is full, and doing that with not even having washed my hand after grabbing everywhere on the public transport. But I did not think cold/flu virus comes from the hand, I thought it only works with droplet infection from the air, such as people sneezing.
I would rule asthma out—it would pretty much make exercise impossible, wouldn’t it? My cardio is not too bad for my weight and with that kind of problem it should be.
Allergy—good point, I actually told the doc that one of the medicine I took (probably silver-protein + ephedrin) resulted in allergic skin rash, and then the doc said if I am unlucky, the symptoms of medicine allergy and the cold can just as well add up, as they are similar.

Nope.
You can use normal saline and oil sprays to get your nose clean so you don’t have to pick it. Or pick it with a clean tissue.
I doubt drug allergies and environmental allergies correlate in a meaningful way.
