Good sunscreen for runners?

Can anyone recommend one?
People will start thinking we are a brothel here with the red glow shining from Raycun's baldy head after the Race with Ray yesterday.
So sweatproof, and not crazy expensive? We use Parasol (like P20) when abroad.

Try Hamilton Sportsblock, I get in in that small chemist on Grafton street but available in most chemists I would think. Can't remember how much but not too steep!

Banana Boat is the best stuff for running....you wont sweat nearly as much as regular suncream/spray

Bump! Met Eireann are predicting a scorcher towards the end of next week.

Not quite about sunscreen, but along the same lines. Is anyone else finding they are getting really thirsty since the weather got warmer?

I tried to run home from town yesterday after work (6k) and i think I may have done a few things wrong -- i think my t-shirt was too heavy, and also I had a little bag with my keys / phone etc that kept swinging around and annoying me, but anyway, I was SO THIRSTY that I had to stop and walk for a few minutes at about 4k.

I am not the fittest, and I know that fitter runners don't need to drink as often, but I run 5k a few times a week with no bother, and usually do a 10k or two at weekends, and in the winter I didn't have this problem at all.

I drank a glass or two of water before I left work, but how do you find the balance between being so dry & thirsty that you feel like you're in the desert and drinking too much and looking for bathrooms en route.

I am getting a bit worried about this as have a few 10k races thsi summer and don't want to be defeated by thirst.

Thanks!

P20 or Parasol.
Put on once. Let it dry. Doesn't sweat off.

...I also wear a hat, and shades :cool:
