I always get cold after a run - whatever the distance - after a club run, a short drive away and my fingers go a whitish colour and numb, lips go blue. Housework - no body ever lay on their deathbed wishing they'd done more cleaning! |

I get in, change straight into something dry and curl up under a blanket for 20mins sleep when I get in from runs. Short bouts of kip are a wonderful cure all!

I get cold after running too. Always. I either get a blanket around me or jump in a hot shower

I have the opposite problem! I get really overheated when running. If I'm driving home after a run, having the Air Con blowing on full for half an hour does the trick but if I'm straight back in the house it can take hours.

I started hoovering my bed after it started trying to eat me. Either that, or I was allergic to the washing powder I used that time. Either way, I was itching like mad. I only hoover it when I change the sheets whichisn'toftenenough. I never used to get cold after long runs. This seems quite a new thing to me! I do wonder if fueling during the run may be my downfall. I used to try and take something on board every mile or so, or gels every 20 minutes depending on the distance. I seem to be avoiding it lately as I don't like it slowing me down! Probably not my best plan. |

I get absolutely frozen after long runs, usually pretty soon after getting in. Proper violent shaking and that. Have to get in a bath, even though baths are boring beyond words.

You want a rubber duck Puddington or a ship or something to play with. I used to have a turtle. I liked playing with that in the bath. It's head popped in and out of it's body
