Since last week I have been running 30 minutes 3x per week I drink 2l+ of water per day and eat well , my question is has anyone had headaches that only occur on running days it's been happening to me and I'm wondering if there is a connection 😭

Well it's only been since last week and the weather has been mild here for the time of year so I'm not sure

Could just be a slight infection...and pressure from impact when running..maybe get checked out anyway?😊

I get the odd one... but it’s not been common. Maybe you’re sickening for something?

Maybe drink more water straight before and after runs or have banana afterwards. Personally I drink a lot more on run days as I get dehydrated quickly which can cause headaches. Hoping it gets better for you.

Two litres is an absolute minimum in my opinion.

Try drinking more each and every day.
