Got through q summer of mileage. Nithing crazy just able to consistently hit mileage in the 50s with a few at 60. Got real long runs in of 16 miles, most runs were easy as hell and long runs got a little tempo in them. Also got a fair bike of cycling in on top of that but only like 30 miles a week on a flat course

Now I'm starting to do workouts 2 times a week and my body isnt liking it. Likeni javent able to finish a workout yet and just feel like I have no energy after 1 or 2 reps, or 10 minutes of tempo or a few fartlek on sessions. Took last 3 days off to see if that's the problem but I've been doing easy runs at 745 still, used to go at 7 flat but realized that's too fast for my ability, 1630 5k runner.

Anything else I should do?

Cut out one of those workouts per wk, cut total mileage by 10% for a week. Also make sure you are getting a ton of sleep, hydrating taking a supplement like nuun, icing, elevating your legs, etc. Small changes.

Increase your consumption of healthy fats(nuts, seeds, avocados, and fish) and take a vitamin d supplement.

Back off the mileage for a week (30-35 miles) and then build up from where you are. Add in a 10 minute tempo, then 12 minutes the next week, and so on. If that feels OK, add an interval session of 1-2 reps, and progress from there.

You're running the wrong gears. Your legs to work a bit more, and through more range.

You can't depend on one size fits all tables.

You need to vary paces more than you are, get the lead out.

Most of these workouts will help because you are changing recruitment patterns.

S 6mi 45'

M 7x 400 75 w 200 walk

T 4mi 26'

W 30x 100m strides ~ 18 on 1' (turf)

Th 4mi 26'

F 45' walk

S 5 x 500m 1:33 w 300m walk

Add in 30-40 flights of stairs, walking/week

In about 6 weeks you'll be fitter and faster, out of your slump.

You'll feel this as an urge to test at 1600 < 4:50 in trainers

Keep me posted
