Bad headaches/migraines after track practice

[youngmack]

This is my first time ever running track and I have been to two practices so far but after both practices I have gotten a bad headache after. I even took a Tylenol before practice today and I still have a banging headache. I do have a history of getting migraines when I was younger but I never found out the causes. I am leaning towards not getting enough sleep.


I think I am drinking enough water but I am not so sure. Any ideas? Is this normal? Do I just have to get used to the intense workout in the sun?

If you've only got 2 practices in your entire life under your belt, I'd say for now keep at it. You probably just aren't used to intense physical activity in the sun like you said. Drinking more water every day and during practice would be helpful.

But if you go through half or all of the season, and still have these issues, there could be something else that you'd want to get checked out.

Are you able to breath clearly? Lack of oxygen is usually the culprit. Lack of water or air. It seems like you're drinking well. Lack of minerals (sodium, magnesium, potassium) is another possibility. Finally, if you're not eating enough. Not enough fuel can cause that as well.

Don't stress yourself physically without the proper BASE of nutrition and relaxation.
