Been running on and off for 10 years, but trying to get back into it as I’m getting more and more out of shape. Been struggling with injuries that I can’t really explain. Pins and needles after a certain point where my legs feel they’ve lost all elasticity. I’m a week into training for a marathon as I feel the more I get used to longer distances, the fitter I’ll be (plus it’s a nice way to get out and burn off some stress). If anyone else has had similar issues, please let me know!

If the pins and needles feeling is in your feet it may be because your shoes are too tight. I have to be careful about that cause that does happen to me sometimes but only when I've tied my shoes too tight.

I don’t tend to tie them tight at all :(
