Ferritin iron status training false overtraining mimics overtraining—high heart rate on easy runs, flat intervals, heavy legs—when ferritin is low despite normal hemoglobin on one panel. Iron stores deplete before anemia appears.
Do not taper training alone without labs if pattern fits. Food and clinician plans follow diagnosis.
