Surely you have a bottle of water with you when you're running though?
Treat yourself to a bottle of Wainwright ale when you're next at Tesco mate. You will enjoy it.
Hi Floydy, I've never carried water on any run I've ever done....Except long (42 mile and over) fell runs. I have taken water from the drinks stations on marathons and half marathons, and in hot weather Mrs Fox has occasionally accompanied me on her bike and carried water for me while I was running fifteen and twenty milers while training on a Sunday morning. But generally in training, anything less than thirteen miles doesn't require a drink until the end.
It always amuses me when I see local runners doing three and four milers in the cool weather clutching litre bottles of water.....Mind you.....They listen to music as well....... Daft buggers!
Concerning the odd pint Floydy, I've always been a driver, especially when I was couriering. I took a lot of jobs from drinkers on Saturday nights because they had had a drink, I was on call 24/7....
And then delivering the post required a clear head at five in the morning...
Drinking the night before a run is not recommended....Dehydration occurs, and worse.
So I guess I just grew out of the habit of drinking....
Very low on my list of priorities now behind a McDonalds Burger.....
