I'm an 18-year-old female athlete who has been running marathons for the past three years, but I've recently become addicted to overexercising and feel like I'm never doing enough. I'm currently running 95+ mile weeks, lifting 5-6 times a week till failure, and not fueling myself properly. I know this isn't sustainable or healthy, but I don't know how to stop and can't find a trainer I trust who can help me look and feel good. I work incredibly hard but see no results and don't even know what I actually look like. I want to gain muscle and look like an athlete who can run fast, lift heavy, and have defined "toned" muscles. How can I break this cycle and achieve my goals?
