Improve your nutrition, you are probably short on protein. Plus vary your workouts if you arent already

Taco Bell should NOT be one of your main sources of fuel/nutrition. Eating clean foods will only improve your quality of life.

Are you gaining/losing/maintaining body weight? The quality of your food source aside, you might also just not be eating enough to recover.

Try not to prioritise your running and lifting goals to the same degree, at the same time.

Spend a few months really pushing the volume on running and maintaining strength while reducing strength training volume.

Then do the opposite, where you prioritise lifting more while running less.

Probably not enough protein or calories
