Mornin all

just did my 2nd run of week 5 n the worst thing was the sudden onset of nausea. really thought I would throw up.... but not on my new trainers lol.

any ideas how to stop this... cheers

Are you eating or drinking anything before you head out? I stopped to make sure a man was okay who was being sick by me the other day and he said he had drank too much water before he left home and that's why he thinks he was sick.

Good for you. I’d have run off 🤣

[Spurrr7 Graduate in reply to Tasha99]

It was tempting as he was a stranger but he had run past me very quickly before hand, would like to think someone would stop for me if I was in that position haha

Welcome to the forum and well done on getting started

This guide to the plan is essential reading healthunlocked.com/couchto5... and includes advice on when to eat and on pacing.

You probably need to slow down and jog at an easy conversational pace.

Enjoy your journey

thank you. I'm really enjoying it and can honestly say I look forward to it everyday. after a fractured spine 9 years ago and a mini stroke 3 years ago, I feel every step is proving consultants wrong. loving life x

Make sure you’re not eating an hour before. I prefer at least 2 or more hours unless it’s a little banana. And I only have half a cuppa if running in the morning.

hi no I don't eat before my run and only drink a little water. I've been fine every day until upto the 8 minute run.... will try again tomorrow... fingers crossed and I'll take a doggy bag lol xx
