Hitting the wall is generally referred to the point where an athlete becomes so fatigued, it is hard or impossible to continue a training session or race. Usually, this occurs when muscle glycogen stores were either nor fueled properly, or they have depleted quicker than they could be refueled, making it feel as if the athlete had run into a wall. This sensation is also often referred to as bonking or blowing up.
