Feeling sick after running

I suspect pre-run fuelling could be the issue, though I don't know why it would make me feel sick after. Thanks for all the replies

Dizziness would occur if you didn't have enough afterwards...I've had it kick in an hour after the run...nothing like going shopping for food and bonking big time...my brain completely lost all powers of concentration! Hubby recognised what was happening and got me out of there and made sure I ate something quickly. Eventually a very sweet flapjack restored me completely...much later that day. I hadn't run that far...only 7 miles. The previous day though, I had run 12 miles and not eaten enough afterwards so between both days, it had caught up with me.

I'll probably go to the other extreme now and stuff myself with so much food I can't actually move at all.
