Why beer and running don't mix

WHEN it comes to the crunch I will always, always, chose beer over running.

So when my mates invited me out for a few drinks in Brindley Place there was no contest.
But man oh man did I regret it when I forced my self to run just over 10 miles the next day.

It hurt. Really really really hurt. All I could think about was stopping and having a really long drink of orange squash. But then that made me feel ill which made me want to stop even more.

But there is a debate here. Is it worth doing a run when you have a hangover?

Some say it flushes some of the toxins out of your body as the blood pumps round you system. But others argue the value of training while dehydrated is actually very very minimal. What do you think?

Personally, I wouldn't do it again. But I might try a shorter faster run so the torture doesn't last so long.
