Can’t believe I can run for 25 minutes solid! One thing I’ve started with though since I’ve been doing the longer runs is numb hands. Anyone got any tips to help with this? Thanks

Shake the hands out... and your shoulders; you will find you could be clenching your hands and holding yourself a little tensely. You may be unaware of it:)

Take these lovely long runs slowly.. relax and enjoy them.... let the new running legs find their own happy pace:)

Well done!

Thanks. I’m trying to make sure I’m relaxed but only start stretching hands out and moving them around when the numbness starts - should really do it periodically from the beginning. I’ll try that, thanks
