i have been running for about 4months and run about 20 miles per week. i have been doing speedwork and long runs but during all this time i hardly sweat, i notice that my clothes are a bit sweaty when i get back form my run, but my face and head don't sweat at all....is there something wrong, i have tried drinking more water but it just makes me need the loo....what can i do?

Your body is probably better at judging the right quantity of sweat than mine is. My guess is that your head and face do sweat but that the sweat evaporates and cools you down. Unless you get hot and uncomfortable I'd say there was nothing to worry about.
It's said that women sweat less than men, although I'm joining Ross in the wring-out-your-kit camp. When I come in from a run, the kids check my back to see if the heart-shaped damp patch ("cos Mummy loves us all, even when she's out running") is there.
Cheers, V-rap.
I'll skip the gag about sweaty bullocks!

Can you buy those little gutter things in HomeBase? :-) Seriously though, I was wondering whether vaseline on my eyebrows might help redirect the sweat? Isn't that what boxers do?
Ref the vaseline on the eyebrows - i've seen several people do it for running, so presume it must work.
