Hello,
Distance runner suffering from muscle fatigue may be due to muscle fiber injury and inadequate repair of muscles.
Sleep tiredness may be due to disturbed sleep caused by muscle pain.
I suggest you to consult a sports medicine expert/nutritionist for review of her daily routine, exercise and nutrition.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
