This is normal.  <\/p>\n<h3>Stressors<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Preparing for a marathon not only challenges the body, but also strains the mind.<\/strong>  Running requires a great deal of concentration, memorization and decision-making skills.<br \/>\nWhen you are mentally exhausted you are less clear-headed, and endorphin production may also decrease.<br \/>\nThis explains why you may feel more tired, worried and anxious at certain times.<br \/>\nPreparing for the marathon is not your only commitment and thought: you have a job, a family, and a social life to think about, all of which add pressure and stress to your day, with both physical and mental repercussions.<br \/>\nExcessive stress buildup if not managed and disposed of can lead to <a href=\"https:\/\/runlovers.it\/en\/2022\/the-runners-burnout\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">burnout<\/a>.<br \/>\nThere is a fine line separating <em>functional overload fatigue<\/em>, thus a temporary fatigue, from <em>overtraining<\/em> fatigue, which instead identifies a condition of excessive stress that arises when you have not given proper space for recovery.<br \/>\nFunctional overload is a manageable and easily overcome condition, whereas overtraining, if neglected, can increase the risk of injury and lead to forced stops.        <\/p>\n<h3><em>Trust the process<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>  If you feel broken, know that this is completely normal; it is part of the growth process you are going through.<br \/>\nThe fatigue you are coping with now will prepare you for the tougher times during the race.<br \/>\nIf you are following a well-structured training plan, taking care of your nutrition, and giving yourself proper rest and recovery, this feeling of exhaustion will pass.<br \/>\nThe <a href=\"https:\/\/runlovers.it\/en\/?p=79840\">tapering<\/a> period in which you gradually reduce your training loads will allow your body to regenerate, getting you through the race to your full potential. <strong>So it&#8217;s okay if you&#8217;re feeling tired and you&#8217;re &#8220;only&#8221; halfway through your marathon preparation-you&#8217;re exactly where you should be<\/strong>.<br \/>\nToday&#8217;s fatigue will get you ready, physically and mentally, to cross that long-awaited and dreamed of finish line.
