Fuel and don't push: It's hard to say without more information about your workouts and your running history, but you could not be eating enough/right, be overtrained, burned out, iron deficient, or sick. Ease up a bit and make sure your nutrition is adequate. If it doesn't improve, or gets markedly worse your doctor can evaluate you.
