Hello - does anyone suffer from headaches whilst running. I've only noticed this since I started the 3 minute/5 minute runs. I get a headache during my session, and it usually lingers on, sometimes until the next day. I'm currently on W4R2.
Any advice appreciated! Thanks.
Assuming you are drinking enough water (dehydration brings headaches) then I think you should go to your doctor and get yourself checked out.
I get headaches after exercise that also last into the next day. The doctor did give it a name, but said it is just that exercise does that for some people. I also have to keep blowing my nose when I exercise. It's not just running, swimming does the same. Still, it is probably best you get yourself checked out at your own doctor just to be sure.
I agree that you should get checked out but it could be your posture. I have a tendency to hunch up my shoulders when I'm running, particularly when I'm trying to go a bit quicker. If I don't notice that I'm doing it I end up with stiff shoulders & a headache. To try & avoid this I will try & relax my shoulders & arms during a run. If I have to stop for anything eg crossing a road I'll roll my shoulders & neck to try & loosen up a bit.
I agree with a lot that has been said. I would check it out with your doctor. Main causes can be dehydration, stressed shoulders or sinus, but a little chat and check up with your doc will get to the bottom if it.
Thanks everyone. I have been doing a little research and it looks like they could be tension headaches related to posture etc. But I will also check with my GP just to be sure!
