Overtraining, overreaching can slow performance by James Schlub Health and Wellness Center Wright-Patterso- pulse or lack of appetite, your body is trying to tell you something - back off. When you train you actually break down muscle and it is during rest and recovery from exercise you lay down the muscle to come back stronger. If recovery and sleep is neglected, improved performance will not be possible. Many of the hormones responsible for growth and repair of tissues are highest during sleep. So if sleep is being neglected or affected by training, you will not recover as readily. To avoid overtraining, monitor the symptoms above.

Overtraining (training too often) or overreaching (referred to as pushing yourself too hard during a single workout) can lead to illness and injury. An increased incidence of muscle strains, tendonitis, stress fractures and respiratory infections are just a few of the outcomes of overtraining. In some folks' zeal to improve fitness they often overlook those little aches and pains or other symptoms of overtraining that come back to haunt them with a vengeance. If you are experiencing trouble sleeping, consistent fatigue, a decrease in per: formance or strength, a rise in resting w ami, "" orous aerobic workouts exceed a frequency of five days a week for an hour or more, overuse injuries result. For strength training workouts, how- ever, it is recommended to allow at least 48 hours between workouts (or no more than three workouts a week of strength lu groups of the leg may cause an training for the same body part) .

A much better workout may be lifting with the legs once a week and keeping a running program or dropof one ping day running and combining that with two days of lifting. Everyone's body has its own tolerance for the stress of exercise. While your neighbor may be able to run seven days a week without injury this has no relationship to your workout. Even the best athletes find they go over the edge from excellent fitness to overtraining and injury. The trick is to add days each week, minutes each session or increase target heart rates slowly. Then if the early symptoms of overtraining start to appear, back off your workouts, catch some extra sleep, and you'll be getting fitter in no time. four-day-a-we- outs, you may need to be more careful with your routine. For example, someone who runs four days a week and feels fine may think adding three days of weight lifting to his or her workout is not a problem. It may be a problem, however, if each of these three days lifting weights he works his leg muscles very hard doing squats or leg presses until failure. The overall work on the legs may be too great to allow sufficient recovery between workouts. He or she may find performance in running and strength events suffering as a consequence.
