After a particularly rough race I picked up, on a whim, a drink with an enormous amount of potassium. To my surprise the nausea and cramping quickly subsided when I drank it (I would expect it to help cramping). I've done some research since then and apparently people who are clinically hypothyroid (myself) have impaired potassium adaptation and tend to over-secrete. More research is needed!Graciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05641028266038110278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-25992980530165037912010-04-19T07:20:33.655-05:002010-04-19T07:20:33.655-05:00Every now and then I feel like I want to throw up,...Every now and then I feel like I want to throw up, and it's usually when I'm pushing myself kind of hard. I back off a little on the speed and tell myself that I can always throw up after the race...after a little while the urge passes and I can speed back up. But it doesn't sound anywhere near your situation, so I'm not sure what to tell you. <br />Do you think the coffee is maybe not sitting well in your empty stomach?Shellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03408929681739560085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-25998506458772056422010-04-18T13:59:31.137-05:002010-04-18T13:59:31.137-05:00Great job on the 3rd place age group finish! :-) ...Great job on the 3rd place age group finish! :-) The beauty about smaller races, you can actually get a prize sometimes!<br /><br />We actually have a story in our area about some jerk actually trying mow people down with his truck during a race... fabulous huh? http://tinyurl.com/y6at944<br /><br />As for the nausea.... not quite sure what to tell you, I've never really felt sick after running other than when I've run and been hung over. ;-) I don't know if a little pepto before a run would be a good idea?Britthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09452458515089448886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-64725529602679176892010-04-18T10:46:34.229-05:002010-04-18T10:46:34.229-05:00Congrats on finishing 3rd!

So nice to not huge crowds at the starting line...<br /><br />The only time I have had trouble w/ nausea is when I am dehydrated... have you ever tried salt tabs? I haven't but I know other runners have used them and loved them. Hopefully you figure something out - getting sick while running is just awful. :(Lisa from Lisa's Yarnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05335500882510597919noreply@blogger.com
