I feel really fatigued lately. I used to be able to go to the gym and lift like a mad man, then feel energized for the rest of the day, but now I don't know what is going on. It's been about 3-4months since I started a regular lifting routine (2.5 months on SL5x5), and lately I have been plateauing on most of my lifts. BW 175 lbs (80kg) 5'9" (175cm) Squat -- 250 5RM Bench -- 220 5RM DL -- 265x4 (lolikno) Today during my workout I felt exhausted and was counting down until I could leave. this malaise might be due to the fact I ran my first marathon a week ago, but I feel like I have had plenty of time to rest. Has anyone else felt like this? Do I need to switch to a different, less intense routine or just push through the shitty times until it starts to feel good again?

How much are you sleeping? How is your diet? Do you take any PWO supplements? Also, are you referring to fatigue during your workout, or are you feeling fatigued in general?

>>21004811 I'd say 6-8 hours/day. I work nights so it's hard to keep track sometimes. My diet could use some work. I hit at least 150 grams of protein and around 2800-3000kcals, but I don't really track my other macros. For supplements, I usually take a 1 scoop shake with 5g of creatine after workouts. I only feel tired during my workouts and immediately following them. Otherwise I haven't noticed any loss of performance during my runs.
