I've been running, lately, and have been feeling really drained. I'll run about 3-4 miles with lots of uphills and sprints, and get completely blasted. Hunger, soreness, all the good stuff of a hard workout. But then, I'll go out and ride 70 miles the next day. Come the day after that, I'm sore all over. Is there a crossover in muscle recruitment/use in terms of these two different, yet similar activities? And if so, what muscles has anyone else had soreness in and does it just take time to adapt to the stresses of both?
You see, I only recently started running... and in addition to cycling 200-250 miles per week AND weight lifting, I'm a little concerned about this lingering tiredness that seems to follow me like the cartoonish raincloud over the head. You might have seen other posts of mine where I'm talking about sleeping 10-12 hours per night, etc etc. I wonder if there is a threshold to these types of activities one can sustain, or if you just adapt and keep adapting, like what happened when I first started distance cycling and weightlifting. Any triathletes out there?

Are you training for the Ironman?
