I’ve just been training at the gym for the 2nd time in about 6 weeks (due to work) and my coach still thinks I’m still in top physical shape. We had a very hard 2 hour session. When I got out the gym it felt like I had consumed 20 pints of Stella. I was all over the place, as I just managed to drive home. When I got home I was sick everywhere and felt dizzy also has pins and needles in my face. I drank a cup of hot chocolate with a lot of sugar and also a bar of chocolate. Is this recommended? It did make me feel better. I also put a wet towel on my forehead and on the back of my neck. You think I should calm my training it down a bit? Or just lower the intensity and not do the 30mins run before the 1 hour and a half training session.

I know what you mean
After a 6 month layoff I've been in the gym everyday for at least 2 hours. Last night I threw up too. All I did was drink tons of water and eat something. -
did you have a proper meal or protein drink before you trained?Comment

How does a protein drink have anything to do with feeling like you're gonna pass out?Originally posted by g0tcha View PostComment

i think the thought is that it can help maintain insulin/blood sugar levels, which dip low when training hard as you burn off glycogen stores, and can cause light headedness.Originally posted by austinlarg View PostComment

well that might make a little more sense. i thought he was saying that protein would cure it.Comment

I've felt the same before and have thrown up numerous times. By the second time I realized that when this happens it was due to me not eating anything before hand. As soon as I got home I had a big plate of food and suddenly all my symptoms vanished and I'm talking about feeling completely drained, dizzy, weak, throwing up. I'm not saying this is the case but if you've done the same without eating perhaps that is the problem and it's such a simple solution. Hope this helps.Comment
