Hi there just starting to run in the mornings and I feel good, except that my thighs and bum get quite itchy and inside my sports bra too.
IS THIS NORMAL
I can find it quite uncomfortable and it is putting me off my concentration especially as I am new to this. Dp says he doesn't have that problem, if anyone has and does have it is there a solution ?
Thankyou.

oo yes, i get this when i'm running, it only does it sometimes and it's just my legs and bum. It did it in the gym the other day when i was on exercise bike and I was scratching like mad, i must have looked like i had fleas.

It does it when i go running though, I reckon it's something to do with the blood rushing round and muscles getting warm (but that's just a theory)

There is a great forum on Runners World which is for serious runners but also for beginners and 'plodders' - bet they will be able to answer better.

It is distracting but to be honest I just look forward to enjoying scratching the itch at the end of the run - gotta get your pleasure where you can - lol - how sad am i?
