I am a reasonably well trained runner and have this crazy issue. Regardless of the race - it can be a 5k or a half marathon - I end up getting pretty sick right as I cross the finish line. I will get queezy as I try to push it hard through the last mile into the last 400. Sometimes I'll start heaving even before the finish but I always try to finish it up. This is pretty embarassing and I'm looking for ways to get over it. It especially stinks when I can't kick through the final 400 reallly hard b/c my stomach is going. I'm pretty sure it doesn't have to do with what I have eaten or my hydration level. I've heard that it might be related to blood flowing out of the stomach while running hard and then starting to come back into it as I finish? I also don't think it's lack of training related or that I'm over-exerting. I was a collegiate swimmer and rarely had the nauseua problem during swimming races (just a lot of pain usually). Would really appreciate any thoughts? Thanks
