Is it true that the more fit you are the less of a hangover you get? Maybe maybe not but its been my experience that the more in shape I'm in the less of a hangover I suffer the following morning. Just wondering if anyone else has felt this or noticed a difference.
absolutely....
when i start wanting to go to sleep after 2 beers it means that I am overtrained...
when I can start hammering the beers, one after the other, and the body is saying, "bring it!", then after snapping out of bed after 6 hours sleep, Im hopping along at 6 min pace for my 10 miler- THEN I'm ready to Kick some serious ass!!!
Funny you say this last night my body was saying "bring it" as I was pounding the beers one after the other. . .
Alcohol is hard on the body. Stop while you are ahead. What do 20 or 30 year "drinkers" look like? That's you, if you don't wise up.
you're kidding yourself
Looking back, I wish I hadn't drank when I was training to be the best runner I could be.
moderation my friends

Dude seriously, I think drinking beer has helped me. Its a good way to indicate your fitness. I love guzzlin brewskies wakin up at 5am and bustin out a long run at a suicide pace. 12 miles in just over 70min. yea boy! I ran my 8k PR a couple days after that, 24:11 baby!
Yay you !!!!
I get terrible hangovers and my running suffers for a few days afterwards when I have been drinking heavily. My track times dropped drastically when I started to drink less and I felt a lot healthier and fresher in training. If you want to be the best you can be and fulfill your potential avoid alcohol full stop.
Remember Pre. Want 4t place?
No no don't get me wrong fellas. I'm not saying I'm a consistent drinker. I'm just saying last time I went out for more than a few, my hangovers were almost unbearable the next morning. But I continued to train and went out the other night and it took more alcohol to catch the equavilent buzz and the hangover was extremely mild. Not even a hangover by my old standards.
So I was just saying/wondering that if this was attributed to fitness.
I don't know about hangovers, but I generally can't handle as much alcohol when I'm fit. I think it has to do with my decreased racing weight. I imagine some of you don't change weight as much between racing and non-racing seasons, so therefore your increased metabolism has a greater affect.
i've got all the answers to your problems! first of all, most of what you think is due to you being fit or not is actually linked to fullness and hydration. when i'm fit i normally have a terrible tolerance to alchohol because i ran a bunch that day and am depleted when i start drinking. when i'm not fit i usually sat on the sofa and ate a shitload and probably didnt dehydrate myself. it's all about the amount of water and food in your system when you begin to drink. trust me....i'm not a doctor.
yeah sometimes when i drink and have like 2 beers, i get really tiredish. does that mean im overtraineed?

Then you should have run that 8k a fair spot quicker than 24:11. You do realize that 70min for 12 is 5 min pace (in my book "just over" is far closer to 70flat than something more believable like 72) and a 24:11 8k is nearly 4:52 pace.
Me Iamsn=t got it.
you manna talk drinking tht i can drinkt yioy under the table, butsch. You abnthe horse yor rowde in on.
good try speed phreak but 12x5 doesn't equal 60
drinking seems to have impeded your computational capacity, as well
