Hi All
Just need some advice please.
I'm training for Manchester marathon and going really well. Doing about 40 odd miles a week.
But I seem to be having a real issue with very cold hands (not during running but just in normal every day life.
Its been going on a few months now.
I'm 48 in good health but don't know whether this is anything to worry about?

13 miles today. 1h 40m. Got piss wet though, on the last 2 miles but good for the soul.

The Mrs gets cold hands because of reynard syndrome, but best to get it checked out by a doc mate, the Internet is the worst place to look for medical advice

I'm the same as I have poor circulation. Don't be ashamed to wear gloves on colder days.

As @gaz76 days, have it checked out, just to be on the safe side.

However, I too get cold hands and especially feet (toes). I wear thick socks for running, and gloves. I rarely run in extreme cold, and hardly ever in the rain. I even got some heated gloves, but they're not ideal for running - heavy and difficult to get to my watch.

It'll soon be Spring though, and running will get a whole lot warmer and more enjoyable.

Edit. I did my 86th Parkrun this morning at Stretford (30:40). I had jogging pants covering my legs, thick socks, warm fleece hat, gloves, tee shirt with a long sleeved shirt over it. Still had cold fingers and toes though.

Not really good enough that mate, 18pints of the black stuff should be a decent afternoon session not 4 days, clearly your not taking it seriously enough

Was pacing myself mate. Thursday I'd 8 pints and a bottle of red wine

Another 4 cold and misty 4 miles this morning before work. Couldn't get long run in yesterday before match so split it. Think that's first time ran 2 days on trot

Good going, mate - I can only dream of a 38 min 10K!

Started my training again for the GMR half marathon today and I'm way off the pace. Notwithstanding that I got a PB last year (1:43 if you must know...) I'd be happy with under 1:50 this year. In my defence, I am a 55 year old FOC.

You've got 12 weeks until the gm half, plenty of time to get some good training in
