Are You Overtraining?

Chronic overtraining is just as bad as not training enough and can lead to injury and/or illness. If you suspect you are overdoing it, try this: Get in the habit of taking your morning resting heart rate before getting out of bed. If it goes up and stays up for two or three days, you are either starting to get sick or overtraining. In either case, it’s time to back off until your heart rate drops back down.  Steve Edwards
