If someone could answer me and give me some advice I’d appreciate it, I’m 17 years old and love to workout, my goals and dreams is to have my dream body and be an athletic trainer, recently I think I started overtraining though, my legs are starting to feel so horrible, I can’t even go for a 10 minute jog, I don’t know what to do and if I feel like if I take an extra rest day, I’d have to stop eating as much as I would eat on a training day, I used to be 130 pounds, now I’m 106, I’ve lost so much weight in the last 2-3 months and I don’t know what I did to myself,
there’s no such thing as over training. it’s a mythological thing like a unicorn. “CT FLETCHER”
I felt that before.So what I did is live my job and look for new one.I feel better and Happy.
Lets get checked indeed. Restitution from intellectual property theft & attempts of defamation of my character. Being a targeted individual, ppl attempting to rob myself of my identity.
This is a advert, the white coat is always a give away when they are selling you something, real doctors no longer wear white coats
For anyone that believes this bullshit don’t listen to it, overtraining is an excuse to relax cause if you really want something work for it
Hi, if I overtrained for around 1 week, should I wait for 1 week before going back to running? I’m not really sure when I can go back to good condition again.
Yup, definitely what I’m going through right now. Resting for a week to recover, wondering if I should push for two before resuming Ironman training.
Pretty sure I’m dealing with this two months after starting marathon training and continuing to do HIIT workouts 2-3 times a week while also having a calorie restricted diet because I wanted to lose weight. I started to be unable to run 15 miles, then I couldn’t run even 5 miles or at least had 0 motivation to since I was exhausted before I even started. All the while having increased anxiety and other mental health issues that I figured was due to the quarantine, but turns out it’s OTS after talking to my doctor and a few other runners. How long does recovery time take? I feel like I had a very serious calorie deficiency and no rest days for about 2 months. I’m 2 days into recovery with increased calorie intake and while I notice I’m feeling way better mentally, my body has kind of just felt more sore and I’ve been taking a lot of naps.
Thank you so much for the information and the recommendations because now its my 2nd month of recovery and nothing has changed. I had anxiety, lack of motivation, headache and left shoulder and back pain, etc.. but you’re video helped me to feel more secure. Cant wait to go back to war!(gym)��
How long rest is req?(i mean how many weeks etc) and is minimal strenght training okay to be done in ots?(eg. 2-3 days a week)
Thank you for this. I think I am going to push the doctor for testing as they didn’t want to do it at first but typical Family doc likely doesn’t know much about OTS.. My story: Keto for 3 months, lost 30 lbs. Increasing training intensity and volume both cardio and strength over that time. (Was already in great shape, so not like starting anything new) Then stress of life, work, holidays and not getting enough sleep and then wham…..hit me like a truck. Was doing so great. I do suffer from seasonal affective for last 10 years or so. Looking back, it was too few calories, too hard of training, not enough sleep and then stress of life and likely low serotonin levels from SAD that formed the perfect storm. Wish I would have seen the signs but other than some joint soreness the workouts and runs are getting easier. I guess you don’t realize you were driving too fast until you get in the accident. Now 7 weeks into it and getting better but the first 3 weeks were hell. Insomnia, burning in face and extremities, muscle pain and weakness, lethargy, anxiety, mood swings, loss of libido, weird creep/crawly tingling in random areas of such a low level that it toys with your brain making you wonder if what you’re feeling is even real. My heart rate variability has decreased too since it started. Rested for those first 3 weeks (couldn’t imagine doing anything) and now only activity I am doing is walking. Am stretching both static and dynamic, foam rolling, professional massages, eating good (am off keto). Have just started whey protein and ALA and NAC to try and boost glutathione to see if that furthers it along. Thinking of SSRIs as I have read that can help and maybe should have been on for SAD but not exactly wanting to go down that rabbit hole. Either way….scary shit. Learned so much for this and I thought I new a lot. I guess you never really know until it happens to you.
I wouldn’t say what happened to me was from over training, more like over working and then trying to find the energy to train. I was training for just a half marathon after doing a good few before but was seriously over worked in my job at the time. I ended up with a virus but I was running out of time to train so I decided to go out for a run while still sick. I ended up passing out on concrete and hitting my face off the ground. I got 10 stitches in my nose, I was pretty badly cut all around my face and I hit my knee off the ground and was out of action because of that for 8 months.
Hi! I was also curious to know if what I’ve been having is overtraining syndrome. I’ve been bodybuilding for about two and a half years now, and I’d been hitting the gym 6 days a week. However, last month (out of nowhere) I finished my first set of squats and felt as though I was about to faint (blurred vision, heart palpitations, dizziness, and numbness in my feet). Since then, it’s happened about two more times, and my body has only allowed me to do workouts with very little intensity and volume. After many exams, we’ve been told that nothing is wrong with my blood work, heart exams, or the MRI of the brain. Therefore, they concluded that it was anxiety. Could overtraining lead to spontaneous anxiety and dizziness? And is this related to overtraining at all? Thanks!
Hello,
I overtrained myself over a year ago and after 2weeks of rest i felt fine again but since then i always have the same problem my sleep gets really bad i took time off and tried to train again multiple times should i take more time off? because riding my bike and even exercise really hard isnt a problem just my sleep always gets so bad
excellent video! I’ve been struggling with this for around 6 months now. I suffered an injury to my neck and when i was able to train (powerlifting) again i jumped straight back into my old training program (in terms of volume) desperately trying to recoup strength loss as fast as possible. Stupidly i was also eating at a slight deficit in order to undo some weight gain. Even more stupidly i didn’t take any deload/rest weeks. After a few months i started feeling sluggish, my lifts all plateaued, i caught a cold almost every week even the thought of going to the gym made me start to feel clammy and lethargic. Thus far i’ve cut my volume by more than half, and lowered intensity to something that doesn’t overly tax my CNS but have continued to train and started incorporating more frequent rest days and occasional rest weeks. Does this sound like a recovery protocol that could work, or would you strongly suggest i ditch all training? (obviously i recognise that it’s hard to do a spot diagnosis on youtube, and so any specific recommendations are tricky).
Thank you for this video. I hope you can help me, I think I might have OTS but I’m not sure.
About a month ago I had a very sharp pain in my elbow, I though I had tennis elbow and treated like that, it took about a week to go away, but then i started to have pain all over, specially my joints, ankles, outside of the knees, shoulders, elbows and wrist and sometimes fingers. the pain comes and goes, some days are better than others but everyday I have pain, I noticed every time I have pain the associated muscle gets tense and my skin or tissue extremely tender when touched, I went to my primary doc and did blood test, they said I’m healthy. I have no energy and I woke up every day like I got hit by truck! I as very active, I was doing weights and had increase the weight substantially I also started running incline and no days off from the gym, during my last days of working out I noticed I was so exhausted I couldn’t finish. I’ve rested for 4 weeks, no workouts at all, but this is not getting better.
I am desperate and don’t know what to do.
Your input will be greatly appreciated.
Do you think that the definition of overtraining syndrome is too narrow and ridged?
The best video I’ve found on here in regards to overtraining. Two months ago I began adding an additional day of cycling approx. 15 miles/ride and three times a week. This past Monday I logged in my usual cycling run and played basketball afterwards for about an hour. Suddenly the next day I woke up in the morning and felt like I got hit by truck. Heavy legs, mental and emotional exhaustion, and loss of appetite! Does this sound like a overtraining case to you?
awesome video…this just happened to me, but people in the fitness industry lie about it
Hey, this video helped me a lot. I have a question about
Which kind of rest is recommended? Can I still take my bike to college (8 miles in total)?
In the last weeks I rode my bike just calm, and afterwards I had heavy legs. But after a 13 miles long obstacle run, the muscle soreness was gone within 4 days and the next weekend I felt pretty good. I find it difficult to know whether I’m overtraind.
