Maybe I am the only one that this has ever happened to. That is what I always used to tell myself up until this last time. It doesn't happen every time but quite frequently since I have started going out for track at school I puke when running.
I am running along just fine and then my body decides that it's time to puke. :-( There doesn't appear to be anything damaged since I can still run so I just thought there was something "special" about me.
Will this last week guess what I saw? That's right another girl puke when running! Now she is from another high school and I don't know how to just walk up to somebody and start talking about puke LOL!
So does this happen to anybody else? I used to think it was just me now I am wondering if it's just me and this other girl from some other high school. Is there anything I can do about it or is it just part of the process so to speak?
Thank you for any help you can give.

As we get older, our body changes and require more attention to nutrition, especially when we excersise. We need to replenish what we lose.
Are you well hydrated before you run? Carry a water/sport drink with you to keep you from bonking. (I use a hand held bottle holder and anything over 20K I use a waist bottle holder and carry gels)
Check with your doctor, to make sure there is no underlying problems.

However, after doing some reading on the subject it
seems to be a common occurrence when running.
The following article does say that heart problems should be ruled out. So it would be a good idea to visit your doctor, just to be on the safe side. Here is the article if you are interested. Seems you are not alone.

What this simply means is you need to start drinking more water. When your running your losing a lot of water because you sweat, so make sure you drink plenty of fluids during, before, and after running. When your racing drink fluids before and after races.
If you drink the water more often you wont throw up, and that can help stop any affects that might be happening. Throwing up is never a good sign if you do it all the time. The acids can burn the esophagus, just keep your self hydrated and you will be fine, you don't have enough damage for it to be serious.
Keep working hard, and its def ok to push yourself, all you have to do is drink.
