“Exercise headaches are quite common and incredibly frustrating. The key is to find out what triggers them."

"Often it can be something as simple as dehydration, but for others it could be a combination of things (eg, bright sunlight, dehydration and pushing too hard)."

"If you’re prone to them, try gradually easing into your workouts, wearing sunnies when you train outdoors and increasing your hydration. Finally, make sure you get a once over from your GP to rule out anything more sinister.”
