Sickly feeling

[lisathequeen]

Just done run 2 of week 8...am finding the last 2 or 3 minutes I start to feel nauseaus! Any advice??? I do my runs first thing and don't eat before.

Did you drink enough litres of water the day before in order to get properly hydrated? People often feel dizzy and sick when dehydrated and some simply faint if a run is longer and the temperature’s high.

I probably don't drink enough....thanks ..Ill give it a try

Maybe a half cup of tea or coffee would help. I’ve run on empty and had good and bad runs.

[lisathequeen Graduate in reply to Tasha99]

I will try that next time...thanks!

Hi Lisa I always eat a banana 1hr before I run no matter what time of day it is and I always take water out with me. If I don't do this then I do feel sickly towards the end of a run. I struggle to face food in a morning and do have to force it down sometimes but it always does the trick👍

Hi Lisa some people have half a banana and of course plenty of water, even on rest days. I run before I eat, but I now drink a lot of water every day. You’ve done brilliantly and it will be graduation soon! Well done! 😁❤️

Good hydration is a must, but don't go overboard with that just before you run, build it up from the previous day, a ginger biscuit is said to be good just before running, I have a banana beforehand or smooth peanut butter on a slice of toast, maybe try something very small in the gut to experiment to see what suits you madam😁

Also sometimes I have a peppermint or Rennie before running if tum feels a tad delicate..

thanks...I had a small coffee with oat milk this morning and sure its helped! Also plenty of water in the day yesterday!

Agree with the replies above, definitely dehydration. Keep drinking half a glass of water every half hour or so the afternoon before your run. Good luck and keep going!
