W7 R2 done this morning, finished but not good. Changed the route slightly and there was a hill at the end. I was doing ok till the last 60sec when Laura said go on and try a bit faster, so I did, bad mistake. Immediately felt nauseous and sick but kept going to the end and threw up, not very nice. Came home and went back to bed, woke up two hours later with a splitting headache.
Has anybody else had this experience. I will see what Monday brings, might be getting too old for running

Poor you, sounds nasty but I think this could have happened to anyone. Listen to your body - you said it told you immediately that this wasn't a good idea. I've had a lot of back trouble over the past few years and it took me months before I realized my body always told me what to do, it was my head that just wouldn't always do what it was being told.
Maybe next time you need to pace yourself differently or drink more or go when it's cooler or change your route... just make sure it's fun again!
Totally understand what you are saying, it's deciding whether the body rules the mind or the mind rules the body, it's finding the balance. I must admit I have slept most of the day. I am thinking more positive about Monday. Pat

Well done you, dont be put off. My (slightly nuts) marathon running sis says feeling sick is a good sign you have put in the effort lol! Not sure I agree but you persevered at a tough run and that is a brilliant achievement.

I am thinking more positive about Monday. We are going to change the route and do the five minute walk up the hill and try to pace myself better. We have got to keep going now hubby's gone out and bought himself some running gear, he's dead keen.
I think you doing amazing! I'm only 38 and struggling with it, ive just done week 5 run 1 and it's reading these stories that inspire me! Keep it up, if only for people like me who think they can't do it until people like you show me it's possible!

I think you're doing brilliantly. I have to say I avoid hills whenever possible although not easy where I live, also my reaction when Laura suggested that I up the pace to finish was to try not to laugh insanely. At that point it's always touch and go whether I finish at all! I bet you'd have been fine if you had stuck to your own pace.
Hope you're feeling better now, it sounds horrible. I think this muggy weather takes it out of you.

Hope you are ok! I started getting really bad nausea right at the end of the longer runs and I think it's something to do with low blood sugar. Maybe try to eat something light and energy-giving an hour or so before you go out like peanut butter on a rice cake or something. And keep hydrated!
Me too! I used to get this! Runners trots too! It's settled down now though, I always make sure I have lots to drink beforehand now, also a banana is good! Hope you are feeling better.
