W2R3, Hangovers and hesitance.

15 Replies

Trying to run with a prosecco hangover seemed a stupid idea, but kill or cure, I feel fine now (do not try this at home, children); the 90 seconds run are still tough on my legs, not sure whether to level up yet, or keep going with week two for a bit longer??

Do the next run. But beware the prosecco the night before.

Definitely try the next week but watch the alcohol the night before, it makes quite a difference!

Oh, oh! Well done for getting out there...! :)

Now.....Prosecco is fine, but...if you want a tip from one who knows :) a nip of Champagne..good champagne, does not give you the hangover...( Although I suppose it depends how much you have..! :))

You hit the next run... and maybe have the tipple, the night before a non-run day!x

Sorry but, being Italian, I feel obliged to interject: prosecco is *not* champagne; prosecco is fine Italian sparkling wine, champagne is French fizzy stuff... XD

Prosecco, cava, Champagne...whatever...I'm with Lady Floss (oldfloss feels disrespectful)! Loving these replies :-)

I know it is not Champagne, that was my point... Prosecco IS a fine Italian sparkling wine...but it gives me a headache...Champagne comes from the Champagne region in France only, ( there last year) and it doesn't give me a headache...:)

Thank you anyway for the clarification... I will have an extra glass tonight...no run tomorrow:)

Just to avoid any possible misunderstanding... I was just joking, I hope it was clear ;)

Enjoy your bubbles, wherever they come from! Cheers! :)

Yes indeed 😊

in reply toOldfloss

Now might be the best time to confess the hangover COULD have been due to the large G&T I had before the prosecco...I know, I know, lesson learnt! *hangs head in shame* 😣

Well done Pam. ☺ the alcohol will have dehydrated you. Try W3R1 and this time have a drink when you are not due to run next morning.... ( you know this now anyway.. :)

Don't listen to them all Pam. Running with a hangover is one of the key parts of the secret initiation ceremony, so it's excellent to spend some time trying it out in training so you're ready for when somebody comes and offers to teach you the secret handshake. Having the stamina to get up and out of the door despite the hangover is what separates the boys from the men, the lambs from the ewes, the Fiestas from the real cars, the wanna-bes from the runners. You get the gist ;-)
