Today, I was following my usual routine of running in the mornings. But I was caught by surprise when I realized that I wasn't able to run as hard and as long as I usually do. Regardless, I did my best and I'm not going to give up. I've been on a running routine for a little more than two months now. I'm thinking maybe I've been pushing my body to limit too often or too soon. My legs felt like giving out and my breath was more difficult to catch. Basically, I felt a lot more fatigue and difficulty breathing. It was to the point where I felt like fainting. It has been about two hours since then, so I've recovered from that. But is my body trying to tell me to take it easier or something? I'm interested in any kind of input.

    I used to run 10K races. Experiencing occasional fatigue like you are usually meant I was getting a cold.

    You don’t have to run every single day to recover. Sometimes your body needs rest or it can’t recover itself.

    You're protein intake may be low and/or your blood sugar is low. Take a break every second day or so to allow your body to recover.

    if this happens at random times without clear cause it might be something you ate or something you didn't eat like having some kind of vitamin deficiency. I don't know it's just the only thing I can imagine that it could be
