I just did the Paris marathon yesterday. Left foot a bit swollen this morning (particularly the big toe joint - what's that about?) but other than that I'm actually feeling pretty good. Got a sub-5 result which I'm very happy about but I know is nothing compared to people on here; however, almost 12 minutes quicker than last year - and I didn't even train as hard. Thanks to everyone for all their advice :-)
Well done! 12 mins off is great work. Let that toe heal up, the big toe takes a lot of force as you "launch" off the foot so probably just the repetitive motion coupled with tiredness as PhilPub says.
