Headaches

Does anyone else suffer with bad headaches after a run? I drink plenty of water before I start and after but always end up with a bad head.

Poor hydration can be one cause of headaches after a run, especially if it has been warm. Make sure you are drinking 2-3 litres of fluids on both run and rest days so that your system is fully hydrated. This will also help your muscles to recover after runs. Drinking before and after a run is good but possibly not enough if your intake isn't kept topped up all the time.

Amusing tip - AlMorr once shared the NHS Pee Chart as an indication as to whether you are hydrated enough - it's useful reading! 🤣

As Hidden says, poor hydration is the most common cause of headaches after running.
