Answer

Ensure you're eating enough and staying hydrated.

Answer

What do your macros look like? You probably aren’t eating enough complex carbs (fruits, veggies, whole grains). do a 50-25-25 split of your caloric intake (carbs at 50% of my calories, protein and fat at 25/25) until about six weeks before race day. Then, start adding a little more carbs every day until I am at 70-85% calories from carbs a day or two before race day but everyone is different. Training for. marathon you will need AT LEAST 35% carbs though. Also make sure you are eating more calories per day as you train. A five mile run burns almost 300 calories. A 10-15 mile run is a meal to a meal and a half gone. As you get closer to race day you’ll need more calories too.

Answer

Overtraining possibly? Are you allowing yourself sufficient rest?
