Had a long night of sleep last night (almost 9 hours) but I'm still feeling a little worn out...like a wrung out sponge.
Can't seem to "catch" my breath and it feels like (and I know this is just perception) that my heart is "tired." I've also been having some dizzy spells when I stand up too suddenly...haven't passed out or anything but just get a serious "head rush" when I stand up and I have to catch myself until it passes. Blood pressure seems to be fine though.
I know I'm in uncharted territory as far as training goes (weekly mileage, distance PRs, running frequency) and I'm losing weight faster than I ever have previously (I'm 5lbs less than I was last year at this time of training and almost 10lbs lighter than the year before that) so maybe that has something to do with it. I am eating well though...lots of healthy food (greens, veggies, fruits, along with some lean proteins and nuts)...I'm just limiting my calories to around 1600-1800 per day other than splurges on the weekend.
I'm just going to try to push through it and hope it passes at some point in the next week or so. I do have a mild taper planned the week before the race so I'm sure that will help.
