"I've been following Eddy's improvement over the last two years on this site, and it's been pretty dang solid. Sure the weekly mileage has been up and down, but over the long haul he's getting out the door and has turned himself into quite a runner. He's only now just figuring out his potential. Consistency in running is measured in years, not weeks. And over the last couple of years, Eddy's made great strides" Jeff 14 Jan 2009

Why is it sideways?
Eddy - this is just an observation (and I have only run one marathon 20+ years ago) so take my advise as you will. But your being run down from Marathon training might have more to do with your training then your eating. It looks like your miles per week and miles per month are not very consistent and my rather inexperienced opinion is that you would probably feel a lot better, and do a lot better if you would get more consistent in your weekly and monthly mileage....
Sleep is crucial - get an extra hour of sleep every other night while your marathon training as you will be more tired than usual.
