Hangover cure?

Ran W5 R2 today, after a late night out and one beer I felt tired and hungover- I rarely drink. My OH warned me it was raining and I'm pleased to say it didn't put me off, I was still looking forward to my run.

First 8 minutes, great, feeling strong. Recovered well then final 8 minutes felt like a lifetime. Thought about all the advice I've seen on here and in between begging Sanjeev to tell me I was half way through I heard you all saying, slow and steady, so I slowed down a bit and just pushed a bit for the final 60 secs.

It was hard, I thought I hadn't enjoyed it, then realised I was grinning from ear to ear because I'd done it, and the post beer sluggishness was gone.

Happy running everyone, it's worth the effort.

Hangover running really is the devil's revenge and I am impressed you got through it and felt fine at the end.

Hi Boaty, glad to read you are still at it. I almost dread the time interval intinterruptions...go away, just tell me I've finished!

I did the same run this morning, in freezing rain by the end of the run, but another one ticked off the list! Well done!
