When I'm deep into half-marathon+ training, I (personally, not scientifically) observe that I become zinc and magnesium deficient. I simply will not recover, I will feel extremely fatigued, etc. There's a lot of controversy over this, but I more or less have to take ZMA to sleep at night, to remain asleep at night, and to recover from the training load I am putting my body through (I also carry a 2-3x per week lifting load regardless of my running schedule).
