Why does my body feel weak during a 5k race, I notice that I feel very weak during the race when previous years I didn t. Not sure if it s breathing or whatever. The previous years I use to do just fine this last year(after crosscountry season was over) I started wieght lifting and well now crosscountry season is back and I m not the same. Is wieght lifting causing me to feel week during a race. And of course I don t work out before a race, and I don t only feel weak during a race but even practices since season started

You asked whether weight lifting may have caused it. I want to say it cannot be caused due to weight lifting.It can be due to other causes, so need to investigate by got Hb checked, chest x-ray done and physician check up to know the cause.You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it.
