Is this a good thing? It's the second time it has happened to me. last summer I tried to do the sand dunes (in LA... if you've ever heard of it, just this huge wall of sand that people walk or run up and down)...
My friend was training for college basketball, so we were working out together a lot last summer, and went to the sand dunes. Normally people just walk up. But we sprinted full speed halfway and then back down. I made it 4 times, and then I was totally immobilized, and threw up after.
Today, I just played basketball for nearly 8 hours, when I got home I couldn't move. I had to get out of the shower because I couldn't support my own weight, and I've been on the couch, and just got up to throw up.
is it a good thing to do exercise to the point where you have to throw up? sometimes when I'm doing something I just lose track of the world and get consumed by the activity, and I guess this is the result :p .

My coach always said if we lost we had to run laps until we had projectile vomit coming from our mouths.
|
Sure it's good, especially if you're throwing up blood. Play hard, push your limits. If you don't die you haven't played enough.
|
Do not exercise for eight hours. This is the wrong choice.
You might be able to get away with it if you eat and stay hydrated.
|
I'm not an expert on sports medicine or anything like that but throwing up will dehydrate the body, which is especially bad if you're doing an activity such as running in the summer heat. Probably the best solution is to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water well in advance before you start exercising, though the only thing I can say about fixing the part where you actually throw up is "take 5."

Definitely what I was thinking. The only thing that makes sense to me is if you aren't keeping well hydrated. Once when I was caddying on a hot day I didn't drink enough and threw up in front of the country club patrons lol

Uhh no its not good, getting sick like that in the heat is a baaad sign
if you start feeling tired rest, and drink plenty of water
|
Don't listen to these pussies. You've become a real man, Duran.
|
the best workout is one where you are both tired and sore, but not totally impaired and unable to function/about to throw up. You want to feel it in your muscles when you try to do normal activities that involve the exercised muscles, but pushing yourself until puking is unwise in most circumstances.

I've thrown up while playing in games, but never while exercising. I'd say that throwing up is probably pushing yourself a little too far.
But also...
Pain is weakness leaving the body. Remember that now.
|
Naw man it just means your hardcore! But seriously, if that happens just drink some more water and rest a little bit and you'll be fine.

those sand dunes suck, i was there back in january..then hiked over in malibu

I personally don't think throwing up is pushing yourself too far, some people are much more immune to throwing up. Me for example, no matter how hard i excercise i can't throw up unless i decided to run a marathon 2 mins after eating. My friends on the other hand is different.
|
i threw up after doing a running race once, not very pleasant, and i came in came second to a guy in the last 50 meters. last time i ran a race without training first. if i were you, i'd try not to exert myself to that extent, especially just in training. throwing up means your body is under excessive strain.
|
if you hurled its because you didnt eat right and your body hasn't absorbed well what you ate....not cause you cant exercise.. you have to get carbs and less fat.. the only time i have vomited after running or during was cause I ate a cheese sandwich before running laps on the rugby field... and i have run 15km and fast 3k runs while training.. i usually get tired before i puke and i dont have a very strong
try running in a controlled enviroment to see if its because of something else..
go to a treadmill and start running eat anything you want... another day you eat smaller or differently like a plate of pasta instead of a steak and run again the same miles and compare...
if you do vomit try to rehidrate and thats about it.. just shrug it off.. and keep on running
|
Just make sure to stay hydrated and eat well after you throw up, you should be fine. Try to eat more carbs.
I'm a cross country runner btw
|
I know some people who would throw up after long runs or races even though they were in shape. Always seemed weird.
Still, it's generally not a good sign; you are probably either dehydrated or pushing yourself much harder than your body is used to.
|
it's not good.. not good at all. I do that a lot. I puke after running for like 30+ minutes straight. It feels great, but not good for your body :/
|
For those who say it's bad (especially those who imply it's really bad): what is your reasoning?
The hydration element is obvious, but that can be fixed by...hydrating. Obviously excessive vomiting can result in esophageal damage but this is on the order of bulimia frequency (which I doubt will happen if from exercise..). So, what else is there?
Ultra intense exercise taken to extremes has been known in rare incidences to result in rhabdomyolysis, so try not to get too crazy, but aside from that I think OP is fine. My understanding is nausea/vomiting commonly accompanies pretty intense exercise, so I guess as others have said stay hydrated and such.
|
just remember that nothing in life ever comes easy. no pain no gain =p
|
Means you worked yourself to the limit. Gj on not being a pussy!

These are the causes I got when I googled it:
1. hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Increased muscle use makes the body send out more insulin, which in turn transports all that blood sugar to the muscles, leaving you with low blood sugar. The solution for this apparently is to avoid simple sugars prior to a workout--maybe eat a bagel or some other complex carbohydrate instead.
2. Lactic acid buildup. Lactic acid is a byproduct of muscle use. Not only is it responsible for the 'burn' sensation after a workout; high levels may lead to nausea. The solution seems to be drinking lots of water to help dilute the acid
So it sounds like vomiting a bad sign. Does that surprise anyone?
Take care of yourself better.
|
maybe you have some kind of acid reflux in your stomach. search for a doctor, really.

listen to your body, if your throwing up then something isn't right
take professional body builders, i think in their profession it's taken as a good sign to want to or actually throw up whenever they work out, i'm only half joking. in any case i think it's already established that what they do isn't natural, as body building isn't entirely done for just health reasons. so no, throwing up can't be good.

hmm , I think I didn't drink enough water or eat enough beforehand. bleh... after I ate dinner and drank some gatorade + water, I felt quite a bit better, still have a slight headache though.
|
I almost threw up one time when I played 3v3 basketball for about three hours straight. I never checked it, but I assumed it was my body's way of telling me to slow the fuck down.

this.
headaches and shortness of breath or related things are usually tied back to lack of proper hydration. The risky part is not realizing it though. especially like hikers who get headaches while they hike or shortness of breath, they will mistakenly blame it on elevation changes or not being fit when it's really just dehydration- not drinking enough water.

Well put!. The only times i have thrown up is when i have eaten like 15-30 minutes or so before intense leg workout at the gym. Being a stubborn bastard doesn't help at all and in the beginning i thought it was a good idea to finish the rest of the sets after vomiting and oops i did it again  Nowadays i always make sure to eat at least 2 hours before working out and since then i have never thrown up. I often get nausea at really intense leg workouts tho, but never to the point of throwing up! Uhm also 8 hours seem like a bit much, no wonder you threw up :p
|
If your ass isnt spewing buttermilk, then you havent worked out hard enough.
On a serious note, throwing up just means you worked too hard.
|
I've never thrown up but I never push myself that hard, because I want to shorten recovery time. I don't think it's that big of a deal though.
|
just woke up, fml lol my body aches like a motherfucker!
|
Hmm thats some good training Duran. Keep it up and continue to push urself!
edit: Just make sure u keep urself hydrated though. Dont drink too much while running and shit, it'll be worse for u. Take sips at a time.
