Please help! I'm 20yrs old & have been running for 1yr. I did the london marathon this year (3hr 17mins) and I have been fine with my training up until 3wks ago. I've gone from running 35mile a week to about 5, I'm just so tierd when I run! My legs feel really heavy & after 20mins I'm tierd out! I have know problems with gym work, it's just running! Please help me!

PS make it s real week off Don't fret about not running,

Definitely get checked out for anaemia.
A week really (really, that is) off from running should give minor bugs the chance to buzz off, or else make themselves known.
If you've been reading through training threads, you'll remember that there isn't a person on them who hasn't the experience of going sluggish like this. A lot of the experienced ones even seem to expect it, so at least it doesn't upset them when it happens.
Could be a wake up call to sort your schedule out if gym work is still ok
Yep, take a complete rest for a week. If symptoms persist see a quack (but not one whose only solution will be `Well don't run then'.
I've been to the doctors recently as I was suffering from a bad pain in my chest which has now been suggested to be due to a high roughage diet with not enough carbs, sounds like the tierdness might be due to similar thing.
