Does it give you chills?

StrongerMomto7

Yesterday, while running in the heat, I actually got chills. This happens to me a lot. When I hit 'that' point in my workout when I'm working my hardest, I get chills. Does this happen to anyone else? Or am I just strange? : /

Be very careful. Chills can be a sign of heat stroke and/or dehydration. Not saying that it is in your case specifically, just be careful and make sure you're hydrating well and replacing your electrolytes, especially for long hot outdoor efforts.

Yes- I second what baldzach is saying- but to also answer your question, some times I get chills when I really push it and I get excited about setting a new record or finishing a race or even just a hard work out. I think it's more of an adrenaline based tingling in my skin than actual chills.

But seriously- make sure you are hydrated and not suffering heat stroke.

Thank you for the advice.

Were they multiplying? Did you lose all control?

but seriously that doesn't sound good. Make sure to hydrate.

In this case, chills are a bad thing: http://woman.thenest.com/getting-chills-running-15919.html

But if it's part of a runner's high, it's not: http://www.atrailrunnersblog.com/2005/01/understanding-runners-high.html
