hello new here need help please
Background: female, 5'6, 119.8 lbs
So basically I started running March of last year. I was 140 lbs and I just wanted to incorporate healthier habits into my life like eating healthy and giving my body much needed activity. I wasn't doing C25k; I was just running at whatever speed outside. Fast forward to November/ December 2020, I became really insecure with my body and started calorie counting up until March 2021. I was eating 1600-1700 calories a day while running 4 miles three to four times a week and also doing like an hour of weight training and dropped down to 116-117 pounds. I was sick of counting calories so I stopped before my lacrosse season. Fast forward to now, I can only run 2-3 miles (even sometimes, my runs don't even feel good like my legs get sluggish and I feel tired). I run at a relatively okay pace. Right now my time for a 5k is 27:13, my 2 mile is 17:21, and my 1.5 mile is 11:42. But I cannot run more than that or else my legs start feel tight and I get side stitches or my body makes some other excuse to stop running. I am in good shape, on the skinny side with a two-pack, some arm and leg definition, but my athletic performance is struggling. I also haven't been seeing any progress in my arms when lifting weights like I'm getting slightly stronger but my arms still look the same. My legs usually feel super tight after a gym session and I'm slowly losing my passion for running when I really do love it. I just want to be able run more and I feel like something in my body is just not agreeing with it. Now I only run 2-3 times a week which I don't know how to feel about (my dad was a competitive runner and says that running a lot at a young age will have an effect on your knees so that's one thing).I feel as if I eat enough a day, but sometimes I find myself limiting myself or choosing the lower calorie option, but I don't track but know I'm eating around 90-100g of protein a day. I can give a full diet list of what I eat if that helps. But please share any input, any feedback. It would be greatly appreciated. Huge thank you to all of you for reading all of this.
