Too much 🍷 - hungover running???

[naaatsh92]

I had 4 rather large glasses of wine last night and I feel like my brain is floating into the heavens.... Drinking lots of water to rehydrate, and I’ve had breakfast, but the question is do I go out and do my run or should I wait until tomorrow?

Me personally if I felt that bad, I'd probably give it a miss and just go for a walk instead to try and clear the hangover! Mainly because chances are I'd have a horrible run, be sick & beat myself up about it even more.

I'm starting to class the night before as part of the run to make sure I don't eat or drink the wrong things. I bombed out of my last attempt at CT5K a couple of years ago when I had crazy bad acid reflux during a run on week 7. If I'm going to have a drink it'll probably be the night before a restday, know things dont always work out like that, but there is an extra rest day in a week to try and get things back on track.

Hope you're feeling better soon!

Thank you! I think I will leave the run until tomorrow and have a bath instead! I teach dancing this evening and I can’t escape that one, so I’ll be doing some physical activity anyway!

As a regular evening runner I don’t have this issue... if you’re going to go today hydrate well and go late.

W4R1 did a great job of clearing my hangover on Sunday. I guess it depends on how bad the hangover is.

A hangover is basically just dehydration, it’s never great to run dehydrated.

Oh I hydrated before I went out, and was fine. I think it was more clearing my head with being outside than anything.

Ah ok... beer does have some good stuff in, especially the live beers

Thanks for the feedback, I’m going to give it a miss tonight as I’m teaching dance, but I’m going to go first thing tomorrow morning instead with a clear head 😊
