Why do I get so tired after short runs?
I ve got a lot going on, stay busy, not a ton of sleep at night, but all of this is normal for me. I ve been running for 14 years, so it s not "new" though I have recently increased the frequency of my runs.
But why, even after shorter runs at pretty slow to moderate pace, am I dragging all day long? I just want to crawl in bed. As an aside, I have never, ever experienced the "runner high" from an endorphin kick either (including when I ve run longer distances, like 8-10 miles). Am I just weird?

Lack of quality, high protein, green veggie meals. The body is like a car. It needs the RIGHT fuel to run its best.
Lack of proper hydration throughout the day.

you don't need to be afraid of your condition, running 8 miles is too much if you are not having enough rest. be calm and work according to your stamina rather you will be exhausted and lose what you have achieved. if you find you may start beyond weight management tea, it is especially mended for the same kind of issues, helps in weight management and also the best source of energy because of its natural ingredients.

Typically the "runner's high" comes during interval training, like 5 x 800.

hmm could it possibly be the lack of sleep you even admit you don't get? coupled with being busy? i wonder
