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
