Full transparency here...I took a couple days off to fight the mental aspect of training.
I've been in a formal plan since July and February will be my longest & toughest month.
I'm physically great & in the best shape of my life. There is no physical overtraining issue. The problem is the stress and angst each day and run is causing. Everything is about a pace, HR , or split.
Long story short ->> It isn't fun at all at this point. If I can't hit February @ 100% commitment I'll back off and clear my mind.

Struggling with this very thing.

Take off the watch and just go out and have a fun run exploring a new location.

That's quite a long time, even for the most experienced runners. Perhaps you could use the down weeks in your plan to run without a watch, run somewhere new, and/or run completely by feel.
On that note, most people look to improve by running with individuals faster than them. It's important to also run with slower individuals, as they bring you back to reality.
