Does anyone have an explanation/suggestions for dealing with the following condition.
I have now run two marathons. Towards the end of both marathons (April 2006, 2.55 in cool, wet conditions, and April 2007, 2.56 in hot sun) my hands and face have gone numb and got 'pins and needles'. After the races I have been very dizzy and nauseous, with cold-blue limbs and face for about four hours. 2 hours after London the medics measured my core body temperature as 34.8Celsius. Heart rate, blood pressure and blood samples were all normal after the races.
Otherwise I think I am healthy. (192cm, 79kg, 26 year old male with 32bpm resting heart rate).
Is is safe to continue racing like this and how can I avoid being so ill after the race?
