What's happened to unleash the fluid within me??
Keep shuffling friends.
god, I am sooo glad that I'm not the only all-year 'round 'Sweaty Betty'. Even in winter my kit gets drenched. I agree with the cap thing and as the cold weather has set in I've started wearing a thin woollen hat which seems to absorb some of the moisture. However after about half an hour of running the hat gets saturated and I'm back to square one with sweat in the eyes, running down my face etc....it's nice to know I'm in good company though and don't you just hate the people who go out for miles and come back dry!!?!
At least it looks like I've been doing something but at the moment my shower after a run is taking longer than the run itself!!!
It is actually nice to go running and get into a sweat and know it is been well earned and not the fact your body is playing up. I also get quite red after exertion in the gym or running and my face looks a tomato colour for a good hour. The best bit is having a shower afterwards, ah sheer bliss.
One thing I have noticed is that even on warm days, if I cannot shower straight away I chill quickly due to sweat on skin.
As for sweating, after twenty minutes of moderate running, there isn't a dry patch on my T-shirt anywhere to be found. Oddly enough though, I rarely find more than a couple drops of sweat on my treadmill (but still whipe it down for the next guy).
It has been better since I started wearing technical t-shirts - I sweat as much but I do not end up with a soggy, heavy cotton t-shirt and therefore do not get the shivers the same when I stop.
I have to wait ages before showering, otherwise I am still sweating when I get dried.
Don't like the sweaty bra syndrom though - it really sticks when I try to take it off... ick!
But hardly break sweat when i'm training outside, even at 6 min/mile.
Whenever I do any kind of exercise, I sweat like mad. It annoys me sometimes, but generally I don't mind because it proves I've worked hard!
I am another challenged by a large sweat problem and have just learnt to live with it and the funny looks.
The vaseline over the eyebrows does stop the salty eye syndrome but the downside is that you end up with rivers running down the sides of your head.
Only since I started running have I been like this.
Good side, I can run whole marathon without a pee break!
Still feels like ive had a good workout when im stretching down and creating my own river on the patio !!!!
(Some) other women avoid partnering me for my boxing class at the gym, maybe because they fear they'll catch it or something. I just can't understand how someone can be working hard and not even 'glow'!
On a practical note, I'm yet to find a washing powder that saves my kit from an early pongy death though.
always have done
fat or thin fit or unfit
and you should try being a goalie and playing summer hockey in these temperatures
own personal sauna suit !!
i do actually quite like a good hot sweaty workout as i always imagine its flushing out a lot of excess fluid - and sweat itself is clean and doesnt smell - its only when it contacts bacteria or unwashed kit etc, or sweaty foam goalie kit ........
have you ever measured just how much you *do* sweat? I weighed myself before & after a run last week, I lost over 2.5 litres...
Apparently, of the energy we burn when running, only 20% actually moves us forward while the other 80% generates heat - the body sweats so the evaporation can cool us down a bit.
just keep drinkig little and often
