In my opinion, there is no definitive answer as to whether or not to drink during training, and even the opinions of experts differ.
I agree. I've met trainers who advocate for both points of view. However, the one who approves of drinking during training looks much more professional than the others – he has a good understanding of anatomy, and when I have something that isn't warmed up properly or feels strange, he gives me a massage and everything starts working as it should.

And yes, I agree with Heroist and Revan, you shouldn't immediately start with heavy loads if they make you feel bad. Even if there is no weight loss effect at first, your body will get used to the loads, and after some time, it will be able to handle them. Otherwise, you'll overexert yourself after a couple of times and be forced to take a break for a couple of weeks, which is even more harmful.

WE ARE SERIOUSLY DISCUSSING SPORTS.

Neyra and sports, part 2.

On Friday, she was complaining about wanting to go for a run, but because of her broken headphones, she stayed home. So, here's the continuation of the story.
Saturday started with connecting the headphones to the charger, which had finally stopped draining power and had been charging all evening before indicating that they were ready to work. Then, they connected to the player without any problems and showed excellent results, as if there had been no problems with freezing yesterday.
This morning, before getting ready, I tested them again. But the headphones didn't give me any hope of skipping the run because they connected to the player perfectly. And so, after getting ready and putting on everything I needed, I went outside and walked to the park, which is only one bus stop away.
The walk to the park was easy and pleasant, and I was already looking forward to it. On the way, I stopped by a store and bought 0.5 liters of water because running without water is pure masochism and might even lead to a trip to the hospital in an ambulance.
And so, I started running. The first 10 minutes were okay. Around 20 minutes, it was tolerable. After 30 minutes, I wanted to die. At 40 minutes, I noticed that I was running out of water, and I still wanted to die (but it was nice that the minimum program for the female versions of Heroist had been completed). And at 50 minutes, when I was thinking about enduring the whole hour, the water ran out, indicating that the run was over for today.
Then there was a long and difficult journey home, which felt like it took forever. And when I got to the apartment, I realized that I was dying.
Conclusion: I'm exhausted, tired, nauseous, and my body aches. And that's despite the fact that sports help release endorphins, which improve mood, etc. So far, I haven't felt any joy or happiness, only the feeling that I wasted several hours on something pointless, and the desire to die or give up on it all. And yet, in my situation, to achieve results, I need to run 5-6 days a week...
I'll give everyone a plus; the idea of running for an hour at a time and drinking water throughout the process doesn't sound wise. I'll still try to find a good article on how to start running (I didn't post it last time because you, Ney, said you already knew everything and had a strategy).
But based on my experience with free running and half marathons (well, one half marathon):
- For starters, 7-8 km was enough for me. That's how much I ran the first time outside of PE classes. In fact, in PE classes at the institute, I was already able to run 3 km without getting out of breath, at an average speed – but for me, this was a good achievement, because in school I was consistently a low-2 in running, I felt terrible, I didn't like it at all, and I didn't understand the point. So, there are two morals: first, everything is possible; second, these 7-8 km were a comfortable start, not from scratch, so in fact, maybe you shouldn't aim for that right away. In terms of time, that was about 40-45 minutes.
- You probably realized this, since you run for time, not kilometers, but just in case. I don't think it's necessary to push myself on long distances. It's good to pick up speed at the end to use up the last of your energy and "level up." You can start a little faster (if it's winter and you need to warm up, because I don't like to bundle up too much in winter). But in general, it's more pleasant and, I think, more useful, especially at the beginning, to just get used to running as a fact.
- I don't drink water during a regular run at all. I definitely drink before (and eat something sweet, I need sucrose or glucose, just a little, about 4 squares of chocolate). This makes me feel energetic and comfortable. In a half marathon, the pace is faster, the heat is greater (this is not a forest, these were open Moscow streets), and they fed us along the way. It was water in small (100 grams) plastic cups, small pieces of fruit (half a banana and/or an orange). These things were placed at intervals, I don't remember exactly, 5 or 7 km. Plus a sponge with water to apply to your overheated head. The moral of this is: you can consume something, and in some cases (extreme heat, long distances), you even need to. But strictly in moderation. Just gulping down water, especially if it's without salt and carbohydrates, is just sloshing around in your stomach and sweating twice as much (seriously, all that water will come out immediately if there's an excess), and it will also slightly disrupt your breathing.
Of course, when I finish running, I drink again and eat carbohydrates again. Otherwise, I'll get a headache.)
I want to note that as I heard, you are right that a very short workout doesn't bring any benefits, and it starts at 15-20 minutes, or so. But still, for starters, you should get used to it, and then you can start to get the benefits...
I hope this helps, but I'll still look for an article.

The figure is quite normal; you don't need to run around anymore.

Endorphins surge during strength training and sparring, but cardio only brings fatigue and a slouching gait.

Intense physical exercise is the only thing that improves my mood, even if just a little. From -100 to -70. For a couple of hours.
How are you feeling?

Well, I guess it's an individual thing.
