I've been told I should start drinking it, but frankly I hate the stuff. Also, do you drink it before or after you run? A friend told me it is only sugar and salt, and that you can mix up a solution yourself if you know how. What's the general consensus?
Forced myself to take a rest day and found out I'm a lot less grumpy and stressed in the evenings when I run. Tonight I am wound tight as a spring and would like to lace up my shoes and tear into my frustrations, but I've eaten junk and it's late and my body is not prepared. I'm doing two miles tomorrow, come hell or high water.

It depends on how long you're running for. If it's more than 1 hr then yes I'd probably do a sports drink or a gel. If not, then plain water is fine. You don't HAVE to drink only Gatorade (it doesn't work well with my stomach, so I don't) there are other options out there and in many different forms :-)
