Ep. 40 - Intro to Overtraining: Understanding Overtraining, Signs and Symptoms

This week's episode of The Sunday Shakeout is an intro to overtraining for distance runners. After doing much research on overtraining, there is SO much content that I can provide you guys with. I could quite literally talk for an hour about this. But I figured I would bore you guys by talking for that long because I think that nobody wants to listen to anybody talk for more than 35 minutes unless it's an invigorating podcast. So I will make 2-3 episodes on overtraining. I also won't put them back-to-back-to-back because I also think that would be boring. So within the next 10, maybe 15 episodes, look out for some more content on overtraining. But today's episode is an introduction to overtraining. I also hoped you all liked my new sick intro.

I talk about:

• What overtraining is


• Some contributing factors that put you more or less at risk for overtraining 


• A talk on adaptation (Stress Adaptation Curve)


• Signs and symptoms of overtraining, both physiological and psychological 


• How to differentiate between overtraining vs. tiredness 

Thank you so much to all of my listeners for the support!
