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.
