No such thing as over training, only under recovery.
Not to scare you, but I really never did. Fried myself one summer and haven't been the same runner since.
And I agree that under recovering is the true issue. Try and take a month off and see if that helps.
Your diet is bad. I know you think it is good but it is not.
Cut out most meat and carbs. Veggies Veggies Veggies. All day long. Every meal.
Take 2 more weeks.

Your central governor may never forgive you.

Me too. Just can't push as hard anymore.
Wow, 100mpw :( That's going to take a while I'm afraid.
I'd say you need at least 2 months of no running at all. On the upside you can do cross-training. I would avoid anything highly aerobic, as that's part of the system that needs to recover.
I know it sounds lame, but yoga, pilates are great for getting healthy both mentally and physically. If you need something a bit more active you could try rollerblading, tennis, basketball.
Cycling is too hard on you so I would avoid that.
I thanks i can still run now but to be honest it feels pointless as i cant get my.heart rate up anymore???
I dont have the power any more.
Also i dont eat meat anyway
I wake ip 3 to 4 times a night. Is there an6thing i can take to h4lp me sleep solid for 8 weeks??
Thanks

He said his iron levels are fine you fing idiot. DO NOT POST ON STUFF YOU HAVE ZERO CLUE ABOUT. This guy is clearly suffering from classic overtraining (his symptoms are all classic signs of massive overtraining). SO GET OUT OF THIS THREAD YOU WORTHLESS HOBBY JOGGER.
Now to OP,
MEAT is not your problem or your solution. You have classic overtraining symptoms. Inability to sleep, no power, mental and physical exhaustion. You pushed it too far, and you're going to have to pay. One week off is nowhere near enough. You really need to take at least a month off, more likely two, maybe even more.
Once the time comes that something "triggers" your desire to run again, then you'll know you're ready to come back. But take your brain off of running mode. Eat whatever you want whenever you want. Do some light physical activity, but don't do something stupid like intense cross-training because that will hamper your recovery.
Your heart, your lungs, your muscles, are all knackered. Get some food and rest in you and see where you end up from there.
Depending on how long you kept training while you felt like that, it may take awhile. I had one girl who runs a 5:20 mile who over-trained this winter and she's just now finally feeling like herself again and loving training. This was all the way back from March. Just depends on you and your body. Take time off, cross-train, ICE AND COMPRESSION, we had her go to the chiropractor and PT to fix pelvis and breathing problems from hunched shoulders, also massage. Notice how most of my tips involve recovery. Focus more on recovery than the actual runs at this point. You'll be okay. Just run super easy miles on soft surfaces and cut down the mileage. Give your body time to bounce back.
OP needs to err on the side of safety. How many years did Ritz or Webb waste by trying to rush back from their recovery.
100mpw is some serious mileage, no offense to your 5:20 girl. The damage done to his body will be more and will require more time to recover.

thanks for the advice, i used to run 3.50 km pace ever second day after work on a hilly course for 15kms and on the other days run 15kms at 430 pace. then on weekneds do 3.45km pace tempo for 10-12kms, then 30km long run on sunday
that was a year ago, no ive slowly gotten slower, now i cant even hold 5min km pace.
im so tired during the day where i can fall asleep when ever.at night time i cant sleep longer then 1hour without waking up and eating something. i do this like 4-5times at night, then my calfs hurt so much i sometimes have to sleep with them up against the wall so it would stop the pain. but then come morning i feel like i have to run. even thoe i dont want to!
ive been stuck in this cycle for the last 2years. im all about mileage, ive run 200plus kms a week back to back to back. weeks on in, untill i get injured or drop it back a little. i cant help but push myself. but then i wouldnt be eating near enough what my body needs. what esle can i do??
stop running!

Do people not understand nutrition? I don't care about his iron levels. If he doesn't eat meat I want to know where he is getting his B vitamins from. Also is he eating enough without getting the massive calories from meat? Height and weight would be helpful. It is very hard to train at a high level and be a vegetarian. Doable! But hard.
Part of recovery is diet. the "classic overtraining symptoms" you talk about is really a lack of adequate recovery. He can't sleep and often times those 2 things come back to diet.

I get so sick of all the gullible vegans/vegetarians on this board. Glad to read some one with some sense.
Thanks for the reply. Im not a vego
I eat mince every night while having eggs during the day. And oats.
Ive eaten a whole jar of peanut butter and 5 bannanas some nights to try and sleep soundly.
Stats 177cms tall 60kg age 29
Years running 15
When i go to bed and try to sleep my calfs are restless when relax;, they hurt. I have no power in my legs ive just crumbled. 2years ago i ran 25km at 3.50 km pace perparing for my first marathon. Not soon after got injured. And have been a downhill ever since. Now i can barely break 25mins for 5km
Always amazes me when people flood these threads to tell the OP that he isn't eating right, or foam rolling or other bollocks.
Over training is real, it is exactly what it says on the tin, and it is fixed by doing the exact opposite that got you into this situation in the first place.
