2 causes: Running on treadmill elevates heart rate which can cause pounding heart rate transmitted to your head causing a headache. Also, running decreases blood pressure, dilates blood vessels including cerebral blood vessels. Dilated cerebral arterioles increases blood blow to the brain, transiently elevated intracranial cerebral pressure causing a transient headache.
