Nature's way of telling you that you raced hard enough.

Answer 5

being out of shape

Answer 6

When you run at a maximal effort, your body is going to send blood to those areas that are doing the most work.  Your heart is pumping lots of blood, and oxygen, to your legs and arms.  It is going to take away from nonessential functions such as digestion.  If you push hard enough, it will actually take away from your brain -- ever feel lightheaded?  Also if you push hard enough, you are pushing your body to a point of extreme imbalance, and then when you end your race, your body is trying to get back to normal.  It is trying to clean up the lactic acid, trying to bring back the calcium into the cells, get oxygen everywhere that your stomach becomes the weakened area and you throw up.  

Let me put another way.  When you are racing you are bracing your stomach muscles very tightly which is putting a tremendous amount of pressure on your stomach.  When you stop, you instantaneously relax those muscles.  Now the stomach is going to try to go back to its original shape and guess what, it does too fast and you don't have the muscle control to keep your food down.

If you train correctly, you will never throw up.  You should be pushed, but throwing up if typically due to improper training methods and you will not get as much from the workout if you throw up.

Good Luck!

Answer 7

last year i never felt like i would throw up, but this year for some reason i do. i think that

1. its because i'm not in as good as shape as last year yet

2. you shouldn't go without eating something. you just need to find out how long it takes for your meal to digest so that you don't get cramps while running.
