I recently took up running again. The first time, I could only run about 10 minutes not because of pain or breathlessness, but from itching. After about 5 minutes I was itching so much in my stomach, legs and butt that I could hardly stand it. I ran again last night and it was better, but I still itched some. I figure this will go away after another couple runs, but I am really curious as to what is causing this. When I was younger this never seemed to be an issue when I would start running.
Any thoughts?
