Pain in the head whilst running!

[Yoko]

Hi everyone, for the second time this week whilst out running i have developed a pain above my left eye, i thought at first it was the cold wind on tues but today its very mild so that rules that out, has anyone else ever experienced it??

I used to get exercise induced migraines and was consequently told to be careful about keeping my heart rate lower than one might normally push it to - probably why I still run quite slowly.

If you know you're otherwise healthy, it might be worth trying slowing your pace a little to see if that helps? Otherwise, have you thought of tension (see other posts on here re holding something while you run and stuff) there are a number of things that can be easily changed for surprising results.

Hope you sort it soon

Are you hydrated enough? Have a drink 1/2 hour before your run perhaps.

Hope it settles down.
