Beautiful but frosty morning and run day. Got up dressed and had a couple of bites of a banana. Had a bit of an uncomfortable thigh lately so took an ibuprofen and headed out. Took it slow and was okay for the first k then started to feel a bit nauseous! This just got worse so cut run down to 5k. Hopefully it was just having the banana mixed with the ibuprofen!

Sorry to hear that WG, hopefully a rest day will sort it out. 🤞

Does sound like that to me. Well done on going out and coming away with something though!

Do not take Ibuprofen before strenuous exercise, especially where there is a risk of dehydration. Probably not a problem for a 5K but definitely not a good idea for endurance running. If the pain is bad paracetamol is a safer option but if it's that bad it might be better to rest it.
