Migraines from running?

Can anyone tell me how to stop getting migraines mid-run? It seems like everytime I go running lately, particularly when it's hot out, I start getting a migraine and can't finish running. Will taking an Imitrex pre-run help? I don't want to stop running, but I can't spend the rest of the day in bed suffering. I'm getting really frustrated. :(

    I am the exact opposite - running has cured my migraines. I used to have to take 3 different medications for my migraines that I got 3x/week, and for really bad ones I would get injections. Since beginning to run mine have gone away completely.

    Talk to you doctor, it could be your diet. Print off your food diary and bring it to your doctor.
