Gettin Sick so often now

[Uncrck2]

Im a 20 year old male, Im very fit around 8% bf Im training for another marathon and lift 4 times a week. I run about 30-40 miles a week (added 15-20 miles a week to my regular routine for the marathon), my lifting is pretty rigorous I lift monday tuesday wensday friday. Monday wensday fridays are full body work out with compound lifts and supersets, tuesday is just abs. I eat very well mostly organic grown veggies and fruits, lots of chicken, and only complex starches when I eat starch. Organic PB and lots of nuts are in my diet as well. I drink lots of water no soda or caloric drinks, do drink black coffee. Ive recently lost 60lbs well over the last year and I used to get sick maybe once a year, In july I had pnemonia and then last august had a bug of some kind and now hear i am getting sick again, what gives?

You are putting your bod under a lot of stress. I think Ivy is right, just too much. You gotta rest sometime man. If you wont do it voluntarliy your body is gonna make you one way or another. In your case youre worn down so are your defenses and so you get sick.
It sucks I know...

Sounds like diminished immunity. Get a CBC and see what's happening with your leukocytes. Bet the count is low.

Do you get enough sleep? All the good food in the world will not replace sufficient, restorative sleep on a daily basis.
