Hey man. An awesome and informative video. As someone who's been seriously training for over 5 years, I've found myself stuck in this fatigue stage for quite sometime before I managed to come out of it. And more often than not, it's the general stress due to being de-trained. I think, more advanced athletes are afraid of reducing training load/volume aftera. period of no workout, because they really want to continue from where they left off. This actually results in more delay and unproductive results. I'm actually going through this phase right now and it feels like hell. I'm thinking of fixing my workouts and the volume like I did before.

If I didn't get tired I'd probably have medals in many different sports fields. lol

I never thought about this - the fact that one can be so used to run every morning that it isn't demanding anymore.... The body is just amazing!

Sitting at the gym right ready to lay on the floor and go in REM sleep...what is the issue?

Great with cardio. Weight training however feels horrible! Doesn’t matter how many years I’ve been doing it

[AvivaMartin]

Having more protein and eating enough is important too

Rest is part of the training.
On days I am tired: pop up a caffeine pill and ready to sweat 😂

This is a good video and there are always outliers, so maybe Im an outlier

but for me I feel much more awake throughout the day when my weightlifting workout is harder. Like on a day I do heavy deadlifts or overhead press, I feel much more awake in the morning than days I just do a bench press/hanging crunches "medium-easy weight just get through it" workout. Maybe in the 10-20 minutes after Im more tired with a hard workout, but in the hours after I feel much more energized and my mind feels sharp.

same with running, days when I ran hard or farther (zone 3/4/5) (10km+) I feel much more awake than my 5km zone 2 workouts. I guess my musles feel tired but my mind and overall energy feels much higher when I push harder

its beeen tough cause I started developing extertional compartment syndrome last year (got to 30km at 5:10 min/km pace, then compartment syndrome hit just days before my first marathon and I finish in 5 hours 50 minutes behind an 86 year old man). now I cant run more than 2 or 3km without limping because my right foot stops working. Ive had to stop running all together while I wait to try and get medical care in canada (which is nonexistent lol), and though weightlifting does give me energy in the morning I feel like without running my overall energy has gone down a lot. I feel sluggish and brain fogged in the afternoons a lot now. I guess I should take up cycling but I dont really feel safe cycling on the road with cars here. Im not sure what to do. maybe Ill get an indoor bike
