Hello. I am an ultra marathon runner who enjoys running slow and long and is addicted to running and the runner’s high. I was running about 50 + miles a week. My usual routine was 11-15 miles 3 days in a row then 1 day break and repeat. I kept this routine for 2+ years. January of this year, I ran a double marathon and placed second with a time of 11:02. I started experiencing a psychological fatigue sometime around March or April of this year. Basically, I have no drive to keep going once I start my run, and feel exhausted like I have to sleep. If I try to push myself, I fail and feel like I’m being pushed back to slow down and walk. Again this feeling is entirely mental, my muscles don’t feel tired, it’s my mind that does. Another way to describe it would be like I’ve reached a ceiling to how far I can push myself and I cannot go any higher. I give up on all of my runs literally 2 minutes in the run. Could this be happening because of overtraining? Any ideas as to what’s causing this? I would love to start training again and hate that I can’t continue with this awesome activity.
