Oh god, that’s the worst part. I often subway it home and often hobble about walking home as my legs tend to seize up when I sit down after a long run even if I felt fine when I stopped.
Also the really long runs I’m dizzy as fuck afterwards.
Dizzy often?? That doesn’t sound good or normal. I’ve only gotten dizzy after long runs if I’m not able to get adequate hydration and food afterwards. Make sure you’re getting some electrolytes and carbs in you.
It sounds like you’re low on electrolytes (the legs seizing up issue), and on carbs (the shaking and dizziness). Maybe dehydrated too. It’s possible that you’re running too hard/fast but also that you aren’t getting everything your body needs.
Just as an experiment, try to bring a Gatorade or something with you next time (NOT sugar free), and drink it while you run. It might help a bit 😊
My favorite part of running is when I’m done running.

Well that specific run was 60km. But yeah, should’ve brought more drinks and snacks for that one.

The best part of running is stopping.
