I am the same :lol:

Did half marathon yesterday in 2:05. Pretty pleased with that as I took it fairly easily and was only 40 seconds slower than the last time I did GNR few years ago.

I wear shorts but generally have a couple of layers on top and sometimes gloves and a hat. I do have leggings for if it gets extreme but I would definitely fall into the "All the gear, no idea" category if I started wearing them.
 
Last run today for me this year a slow 15k, finished in 1 hour 15 mins. I have ran 463.4k this year, but I have lots of 5k runs in the gym thats not listed. I am aiming for 500k next year

I have that as well, I get nifedipine from the doctor to relax the blood vessels (as another poster mentioned). It helps a little but I still have an icy death grip, even wearing gloves. :( It's an absolute nightmare and one of the main reasons I rarely run outside at this time of year. I can cope with short sleeves once I get started but I find I get home and can't work my key to get back into the house because my fingers are totally knackered. :lol:

Any idea what temperature it kicks in at like mate? Like I said earlier in the thread when its about 0 degrees it kills for me but I was running when it was about 4-5 the other day and they were fine. I had two pair of gloves on mind:lol:

My hands are freezing in summer too. :lol: I only get the colour change and numbness over autumn/winter though which is the only time I take the medication. Am I fuck shelling out for prescriptions all year round. :lol:

When they do end up freezing and numb, make sure you warm them back up slowly. I've waved them in front of the fireplace in a panic before trying to get some feeling back and ended up with f***ing chilblains.
