Does anyone else suffer from itchy legs after running.

I am on week 8 and after every run I could claw my legs off ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

No itchy legs but today they are burning up as I fell and landed in a nettle bus so the whole of my left side is covered in stinging nettle rash (and I've fractured my thumb too :-( )

Yes! I get this all over my body, spoke to GP and was told itโ€™s exercise induced urticaria (basically a rash!) and itโ€™s caused by the body going from cool to warm so quickly that all the blood rushes to the skin and makes it itchy.

I take an antihistamine now before I go out and no more skin clawing :)
