Fatigue/ Over training- Burnout

Hi,

I am an athlete. I have trained 5-6 days a week for the past 9 years now. I do take rest weeks once every 10 weeks or so. This past month I have taken more time off the gym then ever before. I feel so fatigued. I went and did blood work at my doctor and everything is normal. I do have fibromyalgia though. The past 2 years I have been running 40 min & doing Yoga ( 60 minute) 4x a week and weights (60 min) then yoga.

I have tried taking 3 days off in a row and i feel okay. I have tried decreasing my run to 15 minutes and I still feel so tired the next day. I am not Injured. I do not know why my body is so tired. I have a history of over training as it helps me mentally to deal with anxiety and feel better about myself. I normally just push through and train in fatigue but i feel like i am at the end of my rope with being able to push through.

Any advice? I am taking Vitamin C, Multi Vitamin, Magnesium.

Is it normal to need 1-2 weeks off in a row every few years? How do you cope mentally and with the weight gain?

When I have pushed through this past week I did a spin class and just ate so much after it was counter productive for sure, maybe because I was tired?

Also I should add I am 29 years old

Thanks

Lori
