Anyone had this. Just done 4 X 800m intervals. reaching max HR at the end of each. Come back home and 90 minutes later I'm tripping my freakin' nuts off!

Just went away then.

I get regular migraines. Only had the visual thing a few times, none of which was followed by a migraine 😛

Low blood sugar/dehydration?

could be, I had half a bottle of lucozade and a handful of jelly babies before I went out as I was a bit tired after work. Drank loads of water too, but it was 26C and so I sweated like a Geordie in a spelling test.

I'd try longer intervals...800m won't take long on a bike 😉

I'd guess you over-ate, spiked then crashed? I do this if I'm not careful with high GI foods.

Just came home and experienced exactly the same, really pushed myself hard this evening and had some serious visual disturbances.
I only get the 'aura' in my right eye when I get a migraine but these were in the centre of both eyes (if that makes any sense), and these were linear zig-zags rather than rolling circles.
A large drink and some deep breathing seems to have sorted it within a few minutes.

I get these too, only when the weather is nice and hot though which leads me to think its hydration related, occular migraine is what they're called if your researching it
