trendy runner Mar 2012 2:53pm, 21 Mar 2012 740 posts	Quote Pin trendy runner 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!

frangale Mar 2012 4:05pm, 21 Mar 2012 3,356 posts	Quote Pin frangale 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.

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.
