What’s wrong, Dehydration?? Overtrained??

It seems like you just need more time to recover from your big race on Tuesday!

Your big effort that let you run 10:50 and 2:17 likely used more energy than you think, so don't worry too much. I have been through this situation before too, making sure you are getting enough time between intense training/races is really important and helpful when it comes to improving! Not only time to recover, but also getting enough sleep, water, stretching, etc.

Remember you have to recover from hard work in order to get benefit from it :)

Good luck on the rest of your season!

Also just wanted to say that running slower repeats in training with increased heart rate is a very tell-tale sign that your body just needs to rest and recover to get faster!

Don't worry too much, do what's right for you!

2 pr's, including a 2M, on Tuesday and you're cooked for the week. There's nothing that has close to the recovery effect of sleep. At your age you should be getting more of it than 8 hours anyway. Go to bed early in season and you will get better. After two pr's and lack of sleep, don't be surprised if you even get sick this week. You're down after the races, not sleeping enough, and that's why you were too fatigued for the workout. Rest and recover and do it again next week.

Thanks! I’m just supposed to go easy tomorrow and if I feel good then a long run on Sunday, I’m also going to bed earlier these next two nights as I want to get back to where I was, appreciate the advice

Yeah.. probably wasn’t the smartest thing on my part, don’t think I’m getting sick and I’m not too sore My muscles just feel aerobically depleted

Of course!

Everyone is different of course, but the long run can be pretty tiring still. Be conservative, if you're a bit unsure on Sunday maybe even just do a little run with some quick relaxed strides instead.

Just an update, felt a ton better today I hydrated well and got 9 hours of sleep, still didn’t feel 100% my glutes were noticeably more tired and tight than normal but everything else was way better my legs felt a lot poppier, do you think I’ll be recovered enough tomorrow to go back to normal training, and if not will I be able to give an 100% effort for my meet on Tuesday?

because I’m trying to break 5 and want to give it my all

cut off on fapping.

i tried this once to increase my energy and all i got was several malfunctions with my big boi and my split shorts. i would not recommend trying to cut fapping.

Well doesnt matter lol I rested a lot and just ran a 4:52 with half of the season left to go
