I get really naseaus and headachey whenever i run far distances, is this just because im out of shape or could there be another reason?

If you are not a runner normally, this could be perfectly normal.
Part of the problem is pace. It's easy to get caught up in going out fast. You'll run your heart rate up, and fatigue will set in quickly, particularly if you are not doing a lot of cardiovascular exercise normally.
Start off slowly, at a pace that is comfortable for you to speak. If it is on a track, keep track of how you feel after the first lap, and try to match it. Save some gas for your last lap to make up any time.
Make sure you are hydrated, and are wearing decent shoes, preferably running shoes. There's nothing worse than hauling around a pick honking pair of crosstraining or tennis shoes.
Last focus on form. Try to run as smoothly and effciently as possible, while still being comfortable. Len forward slightly, and take smaller strides.
You can do it. If you are dizzy or not feeling right, stop and consider seeing a doctor.

First, what are you defining as a far distance? To get in shape for a timed mile, you need run farther then a mile slowly at first to build up your endurance. Then, you need to get a feel for running fast by doing some shorter sprints such as 100's and 200's and then work up to a quarter mile. You may also be starting out too fast. Don't go all out on the first lap. Pick a pace that you are breathing hard at but are still comfortable. If you start to feel nauseous, or like you are going to gag, slow your pace a bit - you need to stay just under the point to where you are feel sick. If you do the speed workouts (the sprints,) you will be able to kick it in at the end, especially if you are getting close to the 10:59 limit.
It is true that you need to drink fluids, but don't drink a bunch right before trying to run fast - you will feel sicker. Gradually drink water throughout the day instead.

Dehydration takes a little while; it's hard to do in under ten minutes. If you're having a lot of trouble, that could be a sign of a problem and you might consider seeing your doctor for a stress test. He'll have you run on a treadmill and increase the speed and incline while monitoring your breathing and heart rate
It sounds to me like you are out of shape and need to keep at it, excercising lightly each day or jogging a slow mile every other day to let your body get used to the effort. You should be able to walk a mile in fifteen minutes.

You want to make sure that you drink a lot of water. Drink more water than energy drinks because just drinking things that have a lot of electrolytes can be bad. Also eat carbs the night before. If you are running hard getting nauseous is normal, you are getting a headache from being dehydrated. I promise you if you start drinking plenty of water and keep yourself hydrated, you will be fine.

those are classic signs of dehydration.
make sure you drink plenty of water before, during, and after a distance run.
