It's where an athlete uses up his glycogen stores and starts gaining energy from his fat reserves. Fat take alot of O2 to break down, which means a higher O2 consumption is required. However, the body enters a state of oxygen deficit where it cannot provide the working muscles with enough. This is termed as "hitting the wall".
