I've got chills...

Not that I can offer any info but I have been experiencing the same thing on long bike rides. I haven't been running very long distances so not so much on the run.

I posted a question asking if anyone else has seen this and several people mentioned it happens to them as well. I still do not understand the cause.

...cause the power your supplying...

It is while I am still pushing. AND it is not too cool out...

So...is it ok that it is happening? Should I do something different? Am I doing something wrong?

I just don't get what is going on...feels weird!


I really want to sing too! I have completed the whole song in my head at this point!

Not sure where you're training, but chills during activity can also be a sign of heat stroke. I never get chills during my workouts, but usually get them about 20-30 mins after completing a long workout; I guess it has to do with your body cooling. I would think maybe the same thing could happen while working out if you start to slow down a bit. Hm. Do you feel okay when you get them; are there any other symptoms or is it just the chills?

I have been running in awesome weather here in Oklahoma, so I am pretty sure that it is not the heat..."It's electrifying" (another Grease refrence)

Love the Grease!

My husband thought it could be nutrition...So I will try a little aide next time and see.
I did have it a little at the end of the half marathon, but not as much. I drank more poweraide than normal that day. Perhaps that is what happened.

Thanks all!

One thing to look for if you get the chills is if you are still sweating, if you aren't sweating then you are dehydrated. You may want to look at your hydration intake throughout the week. You may need to drink more fluids prier to hard days, make sure you get plenty of electrolyte's and not just plain water. In a workout once you are dehydrated it is really tough to turn that around, gotta stay ahead of the bodies fuel consumption. I try to drink a bottle of Gu2o, or Hammer Sustained Energy before every hard day and race.
