Breather: The Health And Performance Risks Of Overtraining

The B.rad Podcast

It may not be everyone’s favorite subject, but we’ve got to talk about overtraining because of how important it is to have a heightened awareness and pay constant attention to your stress/rest balance—otherwise you will make the same, all too common mistakes most people do and will plunge into the spirals of overreaching, overtraining, and full-blown burnout.

An overly stressful approach unfortunately can and will compromise the many benefits of leading an active, energetic, fit lifestyle, and this is true even when the exerciser feels strong and energetic and makes quantifiable progress with fitness goals. Understanding the delicate nuances of the fight-or-flight response to exercise can help prevent overexertion in the first place.

Gaining a complete understanding of the symptoms and imbalances associated with the temporary state of overreaching (the predecessor to overtraining) and full-blown overtraining can help coaches and athletes navigate these treacherous waters with aplomb. More shows ahead with details about this important topic!
