I'm typically about 50-60 miles a week bu every few months I hit a stretch where I don't wanna run at all and I wind up doing like 20 miles a week for like 2 weeks.
I feel guilty every time this happens and just feel like crap all week, usually after 2 or 3 weeks I find my motivation again and get going, but I just dont understand why this happens though. I feel like I'm losing fitness and coming back with work to make up each time, but it's likely that most of that is mental.
Really? You run into some kind of ditch every few months and stay there for weeks at a time? That is very odd behaviour.
How would you have worded it?

HAHAHAHAHAHA OH GOD THE OP SAID SOMETHING, BUT THE RESPONDER INTERPRETED IT AS SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT!!! OH GOD THAT'S COMEDY F*CKING GOLD.
In response to OP, it's probably the natural cycle of running. It comes to the me at the end of every season. After a few weeks off I become giddy with energy and wish to run again. I really wouldn't worry about it, unless you want to somehow time these periods of "laziness" with the end of the season relaxing.

Every few months I lose the desire to run. This lasts a couple of weeks.
Recovery week every 4 or 5 weeks.
One of the beauties of the English language is all the synonyms, and different ways of wording the same point. Much of the greatest prose that's ever been written could have been written more simply, or more to the point, but it wouldn't be the same if it wasn't worded the way it is.
