I run 30+ miles a week and go to the gym. I eat a good whole balanced diet that includes whole grains, fruits, vegtables and proteins. I only drink Green Tea and water (occasionally juice).

I usually have alot of energy but this week I dont have ANY.
Whole Grains = Whole Grain breads, Pastas, etc…
I run alot and always make sure to include carbohydrates.
I have protein with every meal, including a protein shake for breakfast.
Probably you need to eat more carbs.
Well, I said MORE..
I used to feel not so energized a couple days ago, then I ate one really big plate of pasta one night and the next day I felt much better.
im sure you know that eating carbs will give you a quick boost of energy, and you should eat them before a workout, however im concerned if you are getting enough protein in your diet. every person needs the same amout of protein as their weight, so if you weigh 150 lbs you should try and eat 150 g of protein or more. I know that I used to fill not energized at all but when i started to eat more protein, and eat carbs before a workout, I felt better and more energized.
I hope this helps a little, Good luck!
