Should I run when I'm hungover?

"Past you owes present you a run. Pay the tab."
An easy jog beats lying still for a hangover. Sweat, water, and movement clear the system. Don't go fast, don't go far, and skip if you're still impaired.
- Hydrate 500 ml before, 500 ml after.
- Easy effort only. No tempo, no intervals.
- If still dizzy or vomiting: walk, don't run.
FAQ
Is it safe to run hungover?
For mild hangovers, yes — easy effort. For severe ones (dehydration, dizziness, palpitations), no.
Will it sweat out the alcohol?
Marginally. The liver does most of the work. Movement just helps you feel less awful.
