Today I started feeling nausea straight after my 5 K run, and vomited (not much, so most of meal must have been already absorbed) about an hour after finishing the run. I have never had nausea after running before.
I haven't got a lot of experience in running 5K, but I have improved my time from 52 minutes to 37:17 (PB today). Last PB was over 39 minutes, and I ran one minute and 46 seconds faster today.
Ideally, I would like to get just under 35 minutes. I am 10 kg overweight. There never was a plan about how to run 5K faster, I just go for runs and see how it goes.
Weather today was 24 degrees C, humidity 80 %, if that means something.

Congrats with the PB, but the vomitting does not sound good. I would sorta understand if it was extreme exhaustion while you run, but an hour after... if it happens again, I'd suggest seeing a doctor.
Even when the symptoms that eventually led to vomiting started 1 second after stopping running? And continued the whole hour, culminating in the toilet trip?
Everything I have eaten after vomiting as well as water I've drunk has stayed inside (pardon me for too much information) and I feel much better now.
Can't recall drinking very much water before run, I had some and two cups of coffee in the morning, probably should have paid more attention to hydration.
I have felt ready to throw up immediately after a race but I know that's because I ran too fast for too long. However on Monday I felt sick during a run and although I finished it I then had a 24 hour vomiting thing. There is a bug going round so maybe that's it. Otherwise you might be running too fast, haven't hydrated enough/too much or eaten something that didn't agree with you.
Have had some nausea problems myself, but towards the end/immediately after finishing long runs. Just have to see how things go - hopefully won't happen again.
I felt sick on my run this evening, all through it. I blamed a milky coffee too soon before setting off. I won't make that mistake again. It was horrible. Bleugh!
I have suffered from feeling sick during runs a fair bit but thankfully I have never actually been sick. I cannot run well after eating which is why I usually run on an empty stomach first thing in the morning. I have a hiatus hernia which is weight related and I take omeprazole for this condition. Stomach acid or hiatus hernia is most likely the cause here and I would encourage you to see your doctor for antacid medication and to get your digestive system checked out..
