This Week's Training Notes:
At this point, it is important to make sure that you are not over training. Over training is when your body is working at a level higher than what it is adapted to. Symptoms of over training include:
1. Fatigue
2. Excessive Soreness
3. Injury
Also, you may have the feeling that you are not getting fitter even though you are training more. We recommend that you take these steps if you have any of these symptoms:
1. Reduce your weekly training by 50%, but maintain your weekend endurance run.
2. Make sure that you are getting an adequate amount of sleep. (8 hours)
3. If you have an injury, it is important to get a diagnosis
Remember: Training = Work + Recovery. Both are equally important in increasing your fitness level.
