Problems with cross-country
Hi everyone. I'm 18f, and have been running for about a year and a half or so.
I'm on a college team this year and we train 5 days a week... but lately my body can't seem to handle it. I am tired and weak all the time, and I eat constantly but my hunger never seems to be satisfied!
I don't get as much sleep as I should, admittedly, but I wonder if there are other factors in my feeling this way.
I raced this morning for example, and all day i haven't felt good (Muscle weakness throughout my body, achiness, general fatigue, hunger/nausea)
I am confident that Im eating pretty healthy. I eat a good amount of carbs and protein, and I try not to over-do it on the sugar. I've been drinking water and tea a lot too. Any thoughts anyone?
I'd really like to hit a new PR this season!
Thanks very much and God bless

Maybe give some free advice about: Sports?
I also dance for 5 days a week and feel the same sometimes. With my height and weight i should eat 2800 calories a day. You, seeing how much you exercise should be consuming over 3000 probably.Try eating foods high in carbs and protein a few hours before you run.
Sleep is also extremely important. Try very hard to get at least 8 hours of sleep a night.
hope this helps :)
