Symptoms of Overtraining Syndrome
Are you exercising too much?
Overtraining occurs when athletes try too hard to improve performance and train beyond the body's ability to recover.
The common warning signs of overtraining include the following:
Mild leg soreness, general achiness
Pain in muscles & joints
Washed-out feeling, tired, drained, lack of energy
Sudden drop in ability to run ‘normal’ distance or times
Insomnia
Headaches
Inability to relax, twitchy, fidgety
Insatiable thirst, dehydration
Lowered resistance to common illnesses; colds, sore throat, etc.
What do I do if I have some of these Warning Signs?
If your suffering from several of these warning signs go see your physician so that any potentially serious problem can be ruled out.
Otherwise, just stop & rest, take a few days off. Drink plenty of fluids, check & alter your diet if necessary. Maybe plan an alternate work-out routine so that your not constantly working just the same muscle groups. If you don’t receive consistant massage work, this would be a good time to get one or two sessions to help flush metabolic wastes out of your system and help loosen up. To prevent further overtraining injuries, check out some of the more common overuse factors associated. You may need to modify all or part of what you’re doing. If you suffer an injury during a workout, just remember RICE, this could save you alot of pain, discomfort, and a long recuperative layoff.
