Hi All,
I'm noticing increasingly that I'm mentally and physically really tired after a morning run - to the extent that I'm not really firing on all cyclinders the rest of the day. Sometimes this is okay! But it can also be annoying when I want to do something else...and not feel like a Zombie all day..
I was wondering do many people have a nap or something after there run, and does this help restoring them for the rest of the day?! I have run up to marathon distance - but this morning I did a 5km and I'm still dead to the world.

But running a 5km should have no effect on your energy levels for the rest of the day, maybe an underlying reason, anaemia perhaps.
Are you sleeping well? Could you have sleep aponea? Are you under stress? Do you have a young child who keeps you up at night?
Have you recently had a virus? Post viral fatigue is common and it can take weeks or even months to recover fully.
If concerned, do ask your doc for blood tests. You may be low in iron which will cause fatigue. You could also have an underlying health condition causing fatigue so do check it out if worried.
