Also, after long runs you need to ensure that you drink plent of fluids and take vitamins regularly to keep your electrolytes balanced. There are sports drinks on the market dedicated for this reason. Allow your body to recover after a long run. It is essential you allow your body to recover to reduce short term and long term injury.

Perhaps: From one crazy runner to another: you may be pushing too hard. It sounds like you perceived effort is a 10.

Note if you are looking to cross train and things check out ok you should consider insanity and asylum training programs. Really helped my running.
