[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I think you know the answer.  If you are feeling worn out, then add some rest.  You say you do 3 days of full-body.  Maybe just do 2.  Maybe instead of full-body, do a day of upper, a day of lower, and a full body.  Maybe cut out one of the running days.  You will be just as fit if you work out 5 days instead of 6.[/quote]

Thanks for this.  I lost 25 lbs since 2022 with consistent workout schedule and improved my V02.  I easily run 5 and 10k but have not done half marathon.  I noticed in 6.5 mile run last Thursday that I was slower and felt a little tired.  I think I have been underfueling and need to revise my schedule to continue to improve.[/quote]

This is probably it. You likely need to taper the volume since you may be overestimating what you can absorb, eat more high quality food, and prioritize sleep. [/quote]

It’s hard to figure out how much to dial back….[/quote]

If you are investing this much time, you might consider some kind of real tracking. Whether it’s Garmin, training peaks, intervals.icu or whatever. https://www.trainingpeaks.com/coach-blog/a-coachs-guide-to-atl-ctl-tsb/

I find training peaks CTL and form are roughly accurate. It definitely over accounts for swimming. As long as your zones are correct and you are using a HR strap, something that actually measure pace accurately and optionally a bike power meter among other things, CTL and other load calculators will help guide you. And sleep, and lots and lots of real food. [/quote]
