    It worked for george w bush, so might as well. According to him (and also my brother), it's a good way to kill a hangover.

    Ha....I did a boot camp with a hangover, followed by a kickboxing class. It was rough, but I felt much better. I think if you can do it, it is actually the best cure for a hangover.

    I haven't but the guy I'm dating did on his first long run of his marathon training. He did 13 miles while totally hung over.

    Yes, you can run wit a hangover. Assuming that you are going out drinking tonight, I would suggest drinking at least three glasses of water as things wind down and at least one before you go to bed. I know that this seems like a lot but hangovers are caused by dehydration of the body due to the alcohol. I have followed this method and have rarely work up with a hangover and if I did, it was minimal and went away rather quick

    I had a mild hangover and was on about 4 hours sleep when I set my PR for a 5k. :laugh:

    Edited to add: I did chug a 32 oz Gatorade after drinking and before bed. I think it helped.

    I started day 1 of boot camp with a hangover a year ago. Made it threw, but also puked. :)

    Last time I had a hangover, I couldn't barely walk without feeling nauseated let alone run. I couldn't drink water either...cause that made me lose the contents of my stomach. Maybe I just had waaaaaaaaaaaaay too much, but saltines and the good ol' TV while wrapped up in a blanket worked for me.

    Two weeks ago, my super cute, tiny, little blonde spin instructor (hate her, I do) was late to spin class on Saturday morning. She hadn't been to bed, was hungover (or possibly still drunk???), and still kicked our tails. Obviously, it CAN be done but that does not sound enjoyable to me.

    Oooooo good luck. Have tried and failed many times! Now I always do my long run on the day I go partying so my hangover is always on my rest day :smile: :wink:

    For me it depends on how bad the hangover is....if its mild...I can chug it out with TONS of water and Advil. A bad one....puts my *kitten* in bed for 2 days after....

    haha, i've run hungover so many times! i would'nt recommend running a race hunger (i had to walk a bit)--no bueno. would have PR'd too! but a regular run? definitely. the first mile is the worst...and you sweat out all of the alcohol so all you will smell is run/vodka/beer etc buuuuut after the first one it's not so bad. my friend and i have a standing 5 mile run on sunday mornings, and we have run plenty of them hungover ;-) we both agree some of our best runs are done hungover! :)
