Specializes in Pediatrics

Headaches: your headaches while running long distances can be dehydration and/or possible electrolyte imbalace. Specifically, because of sweating you may be losing salt causing hyponatremia.Therefore, it is important to remain well hydrated and to possibly drink electrolye containing fluids
