Pain in the back of the head when running

The back of the head can be said to be the most vulnerable part of the human skull, because the surface of the back of the head does not have a hard skull like other parts of the skull, and the skull bones at the back of the head are very fragile. Therefore, everyone must pay attention to protecting the back of their head in daily life. There are many nerves distributed around the back of the head, but why do you find that the back of your head hurts while running?

The pain in the back of the head may be caused by insufficient blood supply to the brain due to prolonged exercise, or it may be a vascular tension headache, which is more common in students and mental workers. It mainly refers to tension in the head and neck muscles accompanied by excessive anger and stress, often accompanied by pulsating pain in the blood vessels. It is recommended to pay attention to rest, hot compress, acupuncture or physical therapy. If the symptoms are severe and organic diseases are excluded after examination, you can take Chinese medicine orally after a Chinese medicine pulse check. Be careful to avoid staying up late and maintain a regular work and rest schedule.

Notes on running

1. Professional warm-up

Warming up is the most important thing we should pay attention to when running. Now many friends don’t know the importance of warming up. In order to save time, they don’t warm up at all, or they warm up casually and don’t take warming up seriously at all. It’s very perfunctory!

In fact, we must do a professional warm-up before running, so as to ensure that the body is fully active! After a set of professional warm-up, you must ensure that the joints are hot and flexible, the breathing is smooth and steady, and the muscle ligaments are more elastic!

2. Time allocation for eating and drinking

Running requires hydration and food intake, so we must pay attention to the time of drinking water and eating, and must comply with scientific exercise rules! If you choose to run at night, exercise one hour after dinner, so as to prevent stomach diseases!

If you exercise in the morning, you must drink 200 ml of water and eat two small pieces of bread after getting up, brushing your teeth and washing your face, and then go for a run. This way, your body will be better and you will not be prone to exhaustion, thirst, or dehydration!

3. Combine sleep and running

Few people know this running precaution. When we run in the morning, we must combine sleep and running together, so as to achieve the best exercise effect. If you don’t get enough sleep, running is not fitness, but harm to your body!

If you choose to run in the afternoon, you should sleep for at least 40 minutes at noon, so that you can recover your mental and physical strength! If you choose to run in the morning, you must go to bed early at night, preferably at 10:30 and get up around 5:00!

4. Don’t reject anaerobic

People who have done anaerobic exercise know that anaerobic exercise is indeed very tiring, so many people don’t like anaerobic exercise and only like aerobic exercise. In fact, this idea is wrong. We can’t not do it just because we don’t like it. Anaerobic exercise is very good for the health of the body!

I recommend that you do at least 20 minutes of anaerobic exercise every day, just bodyweight exercises, three sets of push-ups, two sets of planks, and three sets of pull-ups. This way you can strengthen your muscles and getting injured becomes a difficult thing!

5. The positive impact of diet on running

Nowadays, many people do not pay attention to their diet, and as a result, the more they run, the worse their health becomes. Therefore, we should understand the positive significance of diet for running, adjust the structure of diet, eat more nutritious foods, and reasonably match various nutrients to achieve balanced conditioning!
