So I noticed that whenever I swim any kind of distance set (like >500 yards) I get pretty aggravating headaches. I'm the kind of person who does get pretty severe, frequent headaches just in general, but when I swim this only happens when I crank up the distance a little. Has this happened to anyone else? I can't really think of a good reason why, and I thought if I could figure out the issue, I may be able to take care of it.
For now I just tough it out and keep going, but it's not really fun as I'm sure you can imagine.
Anyway, if anyone has any thoughts of this I'd love to hear them!
Thanks
Btw hydration issue is quite a serious thing. If you don't drink enough during day, a drink before or during workout won't save situation. When your body gets dehydrated it might take up to 72 hours to rehydrate it that's why you might still have headaches and feel sluggish.
Normal human being without some medical restrictions needs to drink about 0.6oz of liquid per 1lb of the body weight daily which equals about 2.5 - 3.5 liters. Don't drink all that amount in 1-2 times, it's better to split the daily amount into small portions during a day. Remember that coffee doesn't count because it actually drives water out of your body!
Another interesting thing I read in the book for triathloners that for every pound of the body weight you lose during the workout you need additionally 1.5 pound of liquid additionally to the daily amount.
