Headache from Sprint Practices

Since I don't have time to train for the 500fr/400 im this year, unless the recession hits me in which case doubles with dryland workouts here I come, I have started training at our team's sprint practice on Thursday nights. I find that after the sprint workout, my head hurts and I can't go to sleep for hours after the practice which doesn't happen after mid distance/im/distance practices. How long should it take for my body to adjust to sprint training and the high speed/high rest training? I assume some of the "50 lovers" will have experienced this effect from fast training. Thanks for any tips, my wife thinks I am nuts to seek the pain but I told her it is just part of the process of getting faster. Also, how long did it take most people to get good at SDKs? Right now, I feel like I am screwing around under the water and not moving fast while I am doing the kick, and I am a good kicker with very flexible ankles. PJE

  • My headaches must be worse that I thought. All of a sudden, I am reading about submerged dolphin kicks, and I don't know how I got here. Where am I? On SouthPark, one of the fathers got a dolphinoplasty. Maybe that's the answer. If we have artificial blowholes implanted in the backs of our heads, perhaps this will prevent exertional headaches.
