Headache after running?

Hi all,
I've always suffered from headaches at the front of my head after I've ran further than normal.
A 5k is no problem, but today I've done just an 8k (it's only 3k more) and I've got the usual dull ache.
I drink water before and after and sometimes during sometime I drink lucozade sports drinks/powerade and still achey. I'm wondering is it a lack of salts or sugars.
Any ideas?
